Internal carotid artery dissection
Updates to Case Attributes
This case demonstrates typical ultrasound appearance of carotid artery dissection. It is an example of ultrasound findings which would be difficult to see.
In addition, on the basis of thisthese findings, we can suggest atherosclerotic lesion, but age and clinic symptoms of the patient are more typical for dissection.
MRI was used to verify the diagnosis, which confirmed intramural hematoma on T1 fat saturated sequences.

Updates to Study Attributes
In fig.1 (longitudinal projection), fig.2 (transverse projection) we see the affected internal carotid artery. There are no normal ultrasound findings of internal carotid artery. The walls of the artery are very thickened with vessel expansion to 1,09 cm and stenosis of channel blood flow to 0,24 cm. In fig 3 shown increase of flow to 274 cm/s, that is consistent with hemodynamically significant stenosis of the artery.
