  2. Carotid ultrasonography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotid_ultrasonography

    Carotid ultrasound is a low-cost, noninvasive, and accurate diagnostic imaging modality used to evaluate diseases of the carotid arteries. [2] It is most often used to diagnose carotid artery stenosis, a form of atherosclerosis, and has the capability to assess plaque morphology and characteristics. [1]

  3. Hollenhorst plaque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollenhorst_plaque

    For this reason, a negative carotid artery Doppler ultrasound cannot rule out the possibility of atherosclerotic disease. [1] This is why, despite being one of the most commonly ordered tests after recognition of a Hollenhorst plaque, there is controversy in the medical community on whether or not this test should be routinely ordered.

  4. Carotid artery stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotid_artery_stenosis

    The internal carotid artery supplies the brain, and the external carotid artery supplies the face. This fork is a common site for atherosclerosis, an inflammatory build-up of atheromatous plaque inside the common carotid artery, or the internal carotid arteries that causes them to narrow. [3] [4]

  6. Carotid endarterectomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotid_endarterectomy

    Carotid endarterectomy is used to reduce the risk of strokes caused by carotid artery stenosis over time. Carotid stenosis can either have symptoms (i.e., be symptomatic), or be found by a doctor in the absence of symptoms (asymptomatic) - and the risk-reduction from endarterectomy is greater for symptomatic than asymptomatic patients.

  8. Vascular surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_surgery

    Carotid artery stenosis is caused by atherosclerosis whereby the buildup of atheromatous plaque inside the artery causes narrowing. Symptoms of carotid artery stenosis can include transient ischemic attack or stroke. Both symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis can be diagnosed with the aid of carotid duplex ultrasound which allows for ...

  9. Intraparenchymal hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraparenchymal_hemorrhage

    Glioblastomas are the most common primary malignancies to hemorrhage while thyroid, renal cell carcinoma, melanoma, and lung cancer are the most common causes of hemorrhage from metastatic disease. Other causes of intraparenchymal hemorrhage include hemorrhagic transformation of infarction which is usually in a classic vascular distribution and ...
