Carotid Arteries*

A 62-year-old woman without vascular risk factors presented with left-sided weakness and numbness. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain depicted acute right hemispheric infarcts in the cortical and subcortical white matter. Initial MR angiography (MRA) showed large thrombus at the right carotid bifurcation. Valvular atrial fibrillation (vAF) with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) was found on two-dimensional echocardiography. Serial follow-up computed tomography angiography (CTA) or MRA at 3, 9, and 15 days after anticoagulation alone showed complete resolution of the thrombus with no neurological deterioration. Our case suggests that prompt institution of anticoagulantion alone may result in radiologic resolution of the thrombus with improvement in patient’s clinical status.

Intracranial aneurysms focus very often in the polygonal of Willis. They appear at the site of carotid-posterior communicating artery with high rate. Headache usually appears in these lesions. Subarachnoid hemorrhage is an early complication. Cerebral angiography plays a very important part in the diagnosis of these lesions but enhanced CT-Scanner can reveal them easily. We used sugita clip in the treatment of this aneurysm and had a good result. This spring clip that remains international standards is applied in spreading around the world.

The study aimed to determine the normal range of the intima-media thickness that was measured in common carotid artery and carotid groove and evaluate the changes in measurement with age in 200 healthy adults (113 males, 87 females, from 15 to 93 years old) between August 1998 and December 1999. Results: On average, the intima-media thickness is 0.7+/-0.16 mm in common carotid artery and is 0.87+/-0.25 mm in carotid groove. There is not difference in the intima-media thickness of common carotid and carotid groove between left and right. The intima-media thickness of both common carotid artery and carotid groove is increased over age. There is a linear correlation between the intima-media thickness with age. The intima-media thickness of common carotid artery, but not of carotid groove, is higher in men than in women

200 persons, average age is 59,27 (from 15-93) without vascular risk factors were studied by colour Duplex scanning. Results showed that average systolic velocity in common carotid arteries is 81,14 +/- 14,67 cm/s, average diastolic velocity is 23,27 +/- 5,15 cm/s, average diastolic velocity is 25,53 +/- 5,21 cm/s. Average systolic velocity in vertebral arteries is 42,58 +/- 7,73cm/s, average diastolic velocity is 14,68 +/- 3,63 cm/s. No statistic significantly difference of these parameters between men and women. No statistic difference of these parameters between right and left side. Systolic and diastolic velocities in common and internal carotid arteries decrease significantly with age. Other parameters do not change clearly with age
