PY - 2015 T2 - Color Atlas and Synopsis of Vascular Diseases AB - A 57-year-old woman presented to the emergency department (ED) with left arm and leg weakness that resolved after 2 hours. She had a similar episode 1 week previously. She was otherwise healthy and active, although her blood pressure was 160/94 mm Hg, without a previous history of hypertension. She underwent a computed tomogram (CT) of the head that was negative for bleeding or stroke. She then had a carotid duplex ultrasound examination, which showed a focal area of increased velocity in the distal internal carotid artery (ICA) distally without any significant plaque formation at the bifurcation or the proximal ICA. It was felt that she needed a carotid angiogram to better delineate the disease process.
