Background and Purpose—Carotid web (CW) is a rare form of focal fibromuscular dysplasia
defined as an abnormal shelf-like projection of intimal fibrous tissue into the carotid bulb. It is …

Importance A succession of research has explored the linkage between carotid webs
(CaWs) and ischemic strokes. Imaging and pathologic analysis have defined CaW as an …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Carotid webs are intraluminal shelf-like filling defects at
the carotid bulb with recently recognized implications in patients with recurrent ischemic …

Background: Young individuals with symptomatic carotid webs may be predisposed to
ischemic strokes. However, evidence remains scarce. This investigation reports the …

The carotid web is commonly found in the carotid bulb or the beginning of the internal
carotid artery. It presents as a thin layer of proliferative intimal tissue originating from the …

Carotid web (CaW) is an intimal variant of fibromuscular dysplasia strongly associated with
ipsilateral cerebral infarction. Although considered rare, it is a recent and increasing concern …

Background and purpose Carotid webs are intraluminal filling defects at the carotid bulb
which are considered rare, though possibly underappreciated entities with recent studies …

Objective Carotid web (CaW) is reported as one of the causes of cryptogenic strokes.
However, its pathophysiology is not known, which makes clinicians debate CaW treatment …

Background Atherosclerosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is an important cause of
ischemic stroke. Artery-to-artery embolism is the major stroke mechanism in patients with …

Ischemic stroke has rarely been reported in association with a web of the carotid artery. We
describe here an additional case of ischemic stroke caused by a carotid web in a young …
