Ultrasound imaging of carotid web with atherosclerosis plaque: a case report

ConclusionCarotid webs with atherosclerosis have no known etiological factors and are rarely reported. Thus, carotid webs could be easily confused with ulcerations on the surface of the atherosclerosis plaque. The diagnosis could be difficult and effective management remains indeterminate. Moreover, prompt recognition of this disease is key to correct treatment and management. Hence, this case report and the relevant data in the literature could contribute to the improvement of the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
