Stroke from an External Carotid: Lesion Pattern and Mechanisms
Traditionally, patients with symptomatic external carotid stenosis present with neck or face pain, retinal ischaemic symptoms or jaw claudication. and rarely as ipsilateral cerebrovascular events. In this present case, our patient suffered a stroke from a paradoxical embolism from the external carotid, without involvement of the internal carotid artery. A plaque ulceration of the external carotid’s origin was the cause of this cerebral emboli. Duplex ultrasound showed a pathological left external carotid, with a floating thrombus in the internal carotid.

Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease Presenting as Sudden Onset Paraplegia
Thromboembolism and atherosclerotic stenosis both can cause arterial occlusion. Aortoiliac occlusive disease involving bifurcation of the aortoiliac artery induces symptoms of ischemia such as claudication and pain of buttocks and thighs, decreased bilateral femoral pulses, and impotence. Here, we describe a 58-year-old woman with a past history of atrial fibrillation and lacuna stroke with minimal right side weakness. She presented to our emergency department with sudden onset bilateral pain in the legs and paraplegia. A comprehensive examination revealed paresthesia and decreasing bilateral distal pulses. Computed tomogr...
