A rare diaphragm in the common carotid artery: A first case report and literature review

RATIONALE: We present a case of common carotid artery (CCA) diaphragm. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the imaging literature. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 33-year-old woman presented herself to an annual health examination without any report of ill health. DIAGNOSES: A stenosis with ane...

description RATIONALE: We present a case of common carotid artery (CCA) diaphragm. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the imaging literature. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 33-year-old woman presented herself to an annual health examination without any report of ill health. DIAGNOSES: A stenosis with aneurysm dilation on the proximal part of the right CCA was revealed on ultrasound and CTA, by which a diaphragm-like structure on the stenosis lesion was clearly identified. An anatomic variant of artery was first considered. INTERVENTIONS: The patient was followed up closely. OUTCOMES: There was no progression of her CCA stonosis 1 year later. LESSONS: This unusual and previously unreported case is presented to alert vascular sonographers and radiologists to its existence.
