  • Title: Transient ischemic attacks with external carotid artery stenosis and a normal internal carotid artery.
    Author: Weinberger J, Robbins A, Jacobson J.
    Journal: Angiology; 1983 Dec; 34(12):764-8. PubMed ID: 6606999.
    Abstract:
    Transient ischemic attacks have been attributed to emboli from the external carotid artery in patients with complete occlusion of the internal carotid artery. We report a patient with an external carotid stenosis and normal internal carotid who developed ipsilateral transient ischemic attacks. Real time B-mode ultrasonography demonstrated that the plaque obstructing the external carotid artery extended into the carotid sinus. This may have served as a source of emboli into the internal carotid circulation.
