Diagnosis and treatment of acute isolated proximal internal carotid artery occlusions: a narrative review
Ther Adv Neurol Disord. 2022 Nov 21;15:17562864221136335. doi: 10.1177/17562864221136335. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTThe clinical manifestations of proximal (extracranial) internal carotid artery occlusions (pICAOs) may range from asymptomatic to acute, large, and devastating ischemic strokes. The etiology and pathophysiology of the occlusion, intracranial collateral status and patient's premorbid status are among the factors determining the clinical presentation and outcome of pICAOs. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is crucial and may be assisted by the combination of carotid and transcranial duplex sonography, or a computed t...
