An Anatomical Variation in the Cervical Carotid Artery of a Young Stroke Patient

The cervical carotid artery has been reported to show anatomical variations. We report the case of a young stroke patient with a small right-parietal-lobe infarction whose cervical carotid artery showed anatomical variation. The right internal carotid artery (ICA) originated at the C2 level of the e...

description The cervical carotid artery has been reported to show anatomical variations. We report the case of a young stroke patient with a small right-parietal-lobe infarction whose cervical carotid artery showed anatomical variation. The right internal carotid artery (ICA) originated at the C2 level of the external carotid artery with protrusion at the right carotid bifurcation. The vessel wall of the protrusion showed a high signal intensity on T1-weighted magnetic resonance carotid plaque imaging. The protrusion, considered a remnant of the ICA, possibly caused the stroke due to the formation of thrombi as a result of changes in blood flow and viscosity.
