Color Coded Duplex Sonography

We describe a 47-year-old female patient with a carotid web and ischemic stroke. A carotid web is a membrane-like shelf of tissue, predominantly affecting the intimal layer of the arterial wall, usually extending from the posterolateral wall of the carotid artery into the lumen, typically at the origin of the internal carotid artery just beyond the bifurcation. It is considered to be an under-recognized etiology of ischemic stroke in young and middle-aged patients. Typically, these patients do not show any coexistent or only few vascular risk factors. Digital subtraction angiography, computer tomography angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, and color-coded duplex sonography are able to identify carotid webs. Therapy strategies include conservative therapy with intake of antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants, or carotid endarterectomy or carotid artery stenting. Optimal therapy strategy remains open. A considerable rate of recurrent cerebrovascular ischemic events has been reported in patients with a symptomatic carotid web and conservative therapy. More data are needed on prevalence, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of patients with an asymptomatic or a symptomatic carotid web.

High Prevalence

Several studies indicate a high prevalence of factor V Leiden mutation as the most frequent coagulation defect found in patients with venous thrombosis. The relationship between this mutation and cerebrovascular disease has not been established in adults. In this investigation, we studied 29 patients with ischemic stroke and 20 with intracerebral hemorrhage, all of whom were compared with 20 controls. A region of the factor V gene containing the Leiden mutation site was amplified with polymerase chain reaction and the presence of mutation was determined with restriction enzyme digestion. We found no evidence of an association between factor V Leiden mutation and ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage. There was no evidence of association in subgroup the analysis by age, smoking status, myocardial infarction, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or coronary disease. Factor V Leiden mutation doesn’t seem to be associated with a risk of cerebrovascular disease.
