Diagnosis and treatment of carotid web: case report

Abstract

The present paper reports a case of a 41-year-old female. The patient developed left middle cerebral artery occlusion 10 years prior and had been aware of dysarthria and weakness in the right upper and lower limbs on several occasions. The patient again developed left middle cerebral artery occlusion, and we predicted carotid web during thrombectomy. Subsequently, carotid stenting was performed to prevent stroke recurrence. It is essential to differentiate carotid webs during cerebral infarction without risk factors, especially in young patients.
