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 performed in our hospital’s radiology department, her right common carotid artery (CCA) was normal, but her left CCA was hypoplastic. The right internal artery (ICA) was validated as normal. At the left side, however, the ICA was apparent only as a stump and it did not demonstrate a continuity. The diagnosis of ICA agenesis was confirmed by the utilization of Doppler US, CT, and DSA imaging, and it was concluded also that ipsilateral CCA hypoplasia could be evaluated as an important clue to the diagnosis of ICA agenesis.

AbstractA three-year old bot wiht a swelling on the right side of his neck was suspected of having parapharyngeal abscess after clinical examination and CT scan(computed tomography scan) of this region. Later it became clear, that the swelling was caused by an aneurysm of the internal carotid artery. This case report describes the pitfalls and difficulties encountered in the diagnostic course and treatment planning.

✓ A case is reported with congenital absence of the left internal carotid artery associated with an aneurysm on the contralateral carotid syphon. Eight similar cases are reviewed in brief. The possibility of hemodynamic abnormality as the cause of the aneurysm is discussed.

Missed Diagnosis

Abstract Background To the best of our knowledge, no previous studies on carotid webs with atherosclerosis plaque have been conducted. Thus, both radiologists and clinicians have insufficient knowledge of this disease, which could lead to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. An accurate diagnosis is beneficial to clinical management and prevention of stroke. Here, we present a case of a carotid web with an atherosclerotic plaque, which was confirmed by histopathology and was treated at the Department of Neurosurgery, Beijing Tiantan Hospital. Case presentation We report a rare case of a carotid web with an atherosclerotic plaque in a 61-year-old Han man. He presented to our hospital with history of intermittent dizziness and slurred speech for 1.5 years and numbness of both upper limbs for 4 months. A computed tomography angiography examination indicated severe stenosis at the beginning of the left internal carotid artery with plaque surface ulceration. Doppler ultrasound examination showed a carotid web with a thin isoechoic plaque and a membrane-like structure protruding into the lumen from the lateral posterior wall at the beginning of the left internal carotid artery. The thin isoechoic plaque could be seen at the base of the membrane-like structure. Carotid endarterectomy was performed to alleviate symptoms. A carotid web with atherosclerosis was diagnosed intraoperatively, and postoperative pathology confirmed extensive intima fibroid hyperplasia accompanied with myxoid degeneration. The base of the carotid web was attached to the thin atherosclerosis plaque, and between the web and the plaque, a cavity was observed. In this case report, we aim to discuss the diagnosis of carotid web with atherosclerosis, its physiopathology and management, and the possible reasons for missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. Conclusion Carotid webs with atherosclerosis have no known etiological factors and are rarely reported. Thus, carotid webs could be easily confused with ulcerations on the surface of the atherosclerosis plaque. The diagnosis could be difficult and effective management remains indeterminate. Moreover, prompt recognition of this disease is key to correct treatment and management. Hence, this case report and the relevant data in the literature could contribute to the improvement of the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
