BACKGROUND Agenesis of the common carotid artery (CCA) resulting in separation of the origin of the external carotid artery (ECA) and internal carotid artery (ICA) from the aortic arch is rare. Fewer than 25 cases have been reported, and correlative ultrasound data were available for only 1 of them.

متن کاملCommon carotid artery occlusion: evaluation with duplex sonography.
PURPOSE To demonstrate the efficacy of carotid duplex ultrasound to diagnose common carotid artery occlusion (CCAO) and to define the clinical features of CCAO. METHODS We reviewed 5400 carotid duplex ultrasonograms obtained over a 7-year period for suspected carotid artery disease. In cases of CCAO, medical records were reviewed.

متن کاملUnilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery.
Unilateral agenesis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is an extremely rare anomaly. Diagnosis is often incidental in a radiological examination. Recognition of this anomaly has important clinical implications because other life-threatening conditions can be associated and it must be taken into account when planning carotid surgery. We report a case of 64-year-old man with agenesis of the ICA.
متن کاملAn Important Clue in the Sonographic Diagnosis of Internal Carotid Artery Agenesis: Ipsilateral Common Carotid Artery Hypoplasia
A 42-year-old female patient, who had been diagnosed with an occlusion of her left internal carotid artery (ICA) following Doppler ultrasonographic (US) and digitally-subtracted angiographic (DSA) examinations performed in an outer healthcare center in order to eliminate the underlying cause of her complaint of amorosis fugax, later applied to our hospital with the same complaint. At Doppler US...
