Carotid stenosis due to clamp injury.

Carotid stenosis due to clamp injury.

Internal carotid artery stenosis due to atherosclerotic plaque damage after whiplash injury.

Blunt traumatic occlusion or stenosis of the internal carotid artery is a rare complication of whiplash injury and may not be recognized until the onset of neurological symptoms. The clinical course can vary considerably, with regard to both the symptoms and the interval between injury and manifestation. A dissecting aneurysm and intimal tear are usually observed after blunt internal carotid ar...

Clinical identification of TIAs due to carotid stenosis.

A retrospective case note survey of 139 cases of carotid territory TIAs was carried out. Angiographic evidence of carotid stenosis was more frequently encountered when the patient's attacks consisted of symptoms suggestive of ischemia of small cortical territories with involvement restricted to the arm or leg or to dysphasia. Attacks of hemiparesis affecting face, arm and leg, or arm and leg we...

Carotid stenosis index revisited with direct CT angiography measurement of carotid arteries to quantify carotid stenosis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE All carotid stenosis ratio methods are based on the inability of digital subtraction angiography to measure in millimeters. Each method has potential flaws. The Carotid Stenosis Index (CSI) was designed to reduce ambiguities of NASCET and ECST ratios. We test this method's ability to correctly estimate carotid stenosis using direct computed tomography angiography millimet...
