AB  - Carotid artery dissection is a significant cause of stroke in young patients. 
      Here, we report a 33-year-old male who presented with right homonymous hemianopia 
      and paresthesia of the right side of the body. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 
      of the brain revealed an acute infarct in the left parieto-occipital region. 
      Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and duplex ultrasonography (USG) of the neck 
      vessels suggested the left internal carotid artery dissection as the underlying 
      cause. The patient was a known human leukocyte antigen (HLA) B27 and had a 
      history of a previous attack of uveitis. This case report will raise awareness 
      regarding the possible association of HLA B27 with the dissection of neck 
      vessels.
