Summary:Carotid webs may cause a frequent recurrent ischemic stroke. Based on the database of patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA), demographics, clinical, and imaging characteristics were compared between the patients with carotid web and without it. Twelve patients with carotid web were younger and more frequent in females than those without it. Both clinical and imaging features determined that the patients with carotid web were prone to TIA due to the pooling of blood with stagnation and the consequent thrombosis. Ultrasonography has big potential for assessment and risk stratification of the carotid web.
