## Contribution

Reports a rare case of total thrombosis in the internal carotid artery leading to significant cerebral ischemia.

## Key findings

- Total thrombosis of the right internal carotid artery was identified.
- The stroke affected the right parieto-temporo-occipital and capsulo-lenticulo-thalamic regions.
- Treatment was limited to medication due to lack of resources for intervention.

## Abstract

This case presents an unusual finding of total thrombosis of the right internal carotid artery complicated by a large patch of cerebral ischaemia in the right parieto‐temporo‐occipital and right capsulo‐lenticulo‐thalamic regions. The patient was managed mainly with medication, due to the lack of human and material resources required for any intervention.
