Stroke in a Young Woman Caused by Carotid Web (P1.024)
CONCLUSIONS: A carotid web increases stroke risk through thromboembolism. Unlike in other forms of carotid FMD, endarterectomy removes the focus of thrombosis without need for anticoagulation. Alternatively, anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy might decrease stroke risk but would burden a young patient with increased lifetime risk of bleeding.
