AB A  58-year-old  woman  presented  1  week  after  a  single  episode  of  left-eye  blindness  that  lasted  30  seconds.  It  spontaneously  resolved,  and  she  had  no  further  visual  disturbances.  She  denies  weakness,  numbness,  paralysis,  paresthesias,  speech  disturbance,  or  gait  disturbance.  A  carotid  duplex  ultrasound  suggested  a  less  than  50%  left  internal  carotid  artery  (ICA)  stenosis,  but  there  was  a  suggestion  of  a  complex  plaque.  Further  imaging  with  computed  tomography  (CT)  angiography  was  performed,  and  showed  a  left  ICA  eccentric,  ulcerative  complex  plaque  not  associated  with  a  significant  stenosis.
