We present a 57-year-old man who worked in a pediatric setting who, after a strong coughing attack caused by a pertussis infection, presented with an internal carotid dissection and a consequent ischemic cerebral lesion. This case suggests the importance of vaccination for subjects who belong to high-risk categories. © 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
