  • Title: Duplex ultrasound recognition of spontaneous carotid dissection--a case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Adkins AL, Zelenock GB, Bendick PJ, Shanley CJ.
    Journal: Vasc Endovascular Surg; 2004; 38(5):455-60. PubMed ID: 15490044.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous dissection of the internal carotid artery is an uncommon entity with a variable clinical presentation. A high index of suspicion is required to make the diagnosis, and prompt diagnosis and treatment with anticoagulation are essential for improved patient outcomes. Duplex ultrasound provides a safe and reliable imaging modality for early diagnosis and follow-up. The authors present a case of spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection with duplex ultrasound findings and a review of the literature.
