Presumably, the dissection resulted in an artery to artery embolus that lodged in the distal MCA stem. CCA = common carotid artery; ICA = internal carotid artery; ECA = external carotid artery; MCA = ...

Carotid Artery Dissection: (Left) Right Carotid Angiogram at the level of the carotid bifurcation; (Middle) Right Carotid Angiogram at the level of the base of the skull; (Right) Axial CT scan 3 days ...

We present a case of internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD) in the precranial segment, which caused binocular visual impairment in a 49-year-old man during a marathon race.

There are a few conditions that cause carotid artery neck pain, such as carotidynia and carotid artery dissection. Learn more here.

A Doppler examination showed bilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection (Figure 1A and 1B) and neuroimaging by computed tomography (CT) revealed a small acute ischemic lesion in the right ...

A study suggests that transcranial Doppler helps target patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis at higher risk for events who might benefit from intervention and identifies those at low risk ...

A Google search on “carotid artery dissection and yoga,” turns up reams of articles on the topic — many from the 2007 to 2013 era. Some chronicle cases of carotid artery dissection and ...

Cerebral digital subtraction angiography did not demonstrate any irregularity of the carotid artery or narrowing that would indicate dissection (Figure 3). Repeat MRI on day eight demonstrated high T ...

Spontaneous coronary-artery dissection (SCAD) has emerged as an important cause of myocardial infarction in young persons. SCAD occurs primarily in women, and the prevalence of cardiovascular risk ...

Commentary on an interesting study showing that a noninvasive technique, emboli detection via TCD, may be used to stratify high- and low-risk patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis.
