RESUMO
We report the case of a 4-year-old female who developed an extensive cerebral infarction after trauma to the right peritonsillar area with a spoon. Blunt injury to the intima of the interna carotid artery promotes thrombus formation or clot embolization which results in an ischemic cerebrovascular event. We emphasize the need to prevent this rare complication of intraoral trauma in childhood.
