“…The carotid web is a thin membrane-like shape attached to the blood vessel wall that forms as the intima thickens and the media thins. 35 Although conventional digital subtraction angiography is the gold standard for diagnosing a carotid web, ultrasound can also be helpful, especially in young patients with cryptogenic stroke. 36,37 Because current sonographic findings are mostly nonspecific, consideration and awareness of the condition are necessary.…”

Carotid duplex ultrasound is commonly used to diagnose various carotid artery diseases due to it being noninvasive and easy to perform. Carotid atherosclerosis is a major indicator for the need to perform carotid duplex ultrasound, which can determine the degree of stenosis, plaque characteristics, and intima-media thickness. It can also be used to screen and follow-up after carotid revascularization. Here we discuss the standard techniques, interpretations, and clinical indicators for carotid duplex ultrasounds.

Carotid wed (CW) is a rare pathology representing intimal protrusion in the bifurcation of the common carotid or sinus of internal carotid arteries, associated with embolic cryptogenic stroke and high risk of its recurrence despite ongoing antiplatelet therapy. Therefore, accurate and timely diagnosis of this pathology is of utmost importance. Ultrasound is a first-line method, but currently only a few reports are devoted to the ultrasound description of CW, which often leads to missed or misdiagnosis of the disease. This paper describes a case of clinically asymptomatic CW and summarizes the literature data on the ultrasound characteristics of this pathology.
