It is characterized by a shelf-like intraluminal filling defect arising from the posterior wall of the carotid bulb, promoting thrombus formation through local hemodynamic disturbances. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with a history of well-controlled hypertension who presented with acute right upper limb weakness. Brain imaging confirmed an acute ischemic stroke. CT angiography of the supra-aortic vessels demonstrated a carotid web at the left carotid bulb associated with a floating thrombus. No alternative embolic etiology was identified after a comprehensive cardiovascular and systemic evaluation. This case highlights the importance of considering a carotid web in cases of otherwise cryptogenic stroke, even in patients with well-controlled comorbidities. Early diagnosis is essential due to the high risk of recurrence, requiring timely and appropriate interventional management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bjrcr\/uaag034","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,7]],"date-time":"2026-08-07T12:48:15Z","timestamp":1786106895000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Carotid web: an underrecognized cause of ischemic stroke in a young patient"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Salma","family":"Chenouni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroradiology, Specialties Hospital, Mohammed V University , 10140 Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nada","family":"Adjou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroradiology, Specialties Hospital, Mohammed V University , 10140 Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Najwa Ech-cherif","family":"Kettani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroradiology, Specialties Hospital, Mohammed V University , 10140 Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meryem","family":"Fikri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroradiology, Specialties Hospital, Mohammed V University , 10140 Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Firdouas","family":"Touarsa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroradiology, Specialties Hospital, Mohammed V University , 10140 Rabat, Morocco"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026090420313470700_uaag034-B1","author":"Ozkul-Wermester","year":"2024"},{"key":"2026090420313470700_uaag034-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"196","DOI":"10.1016\/j.lpmfor.2021.03.010","article-title":"Le diaphragme carotidien: une cause m\u00e9connue d\u2018accident vasculaire c\u00e9r\u00e9bral chez le sujet jeune","volume":"2","author":"Barrot","year":"2021","journal-title":"Presse Med Form"},{"key":"2026090420313470700_uaag034-B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2134","DOI":"10.3174\/ajnr.A4431","article-title":"Carotid webs and recurrent ischemic strokes in the era of computed tomography angiography","volume":"36","author":"Choi","year":"2015","journal-title":"Am J Neuroradiol"},{"key":"2026090420313470700_uaag034-B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1294","DOI":"10.1136\/jnis-2023-021243","article-title":"Carotid webs: a review of pathophysiology, diagnostic findings, and treatment options","volume":"16","author":"Chen","year":"2024","journal-title":"J Neurointerv Surg"},{"key":"2026090420313470700_uaag034-B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1399","DOI":"10.3174\/ajnr.A5208","article-title":"Carotid bulb webs as a cause of \u201ccryptogenic\u201d ischemic stroke","volume":"38","author":"Sajedi","year":"2017","journal-title":"Am J Neuroradiol"},{"key":"2026090420313470700_uaag034-B6","first-page":"e305","article-title":"Stroke recurrence in patients with a carotid web","volume":"52","author":"Olindo","year":"2021","journal-title":"Stroke"},{"key":"2026090420313470700_uaag034-B7","first-page":"39","article-title":"Carotid web: imaging, significance, and management","volume":"42","author":"Mac Grory","year":"2021","journal-title":"Am J Neuroradiol"}],"container-title":["BJR|Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/bjrcr\/advance-article-pdf\/doi\/10.1093\/bjrcr\/uaag034\/70529709\/uaag034.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"am","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/bjrcr\/article-pdf\/12\/4\/uaag034\/70529709\/uaag034.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/bjrcr\/article-pdf\/12\/4\/uaag034\/70529709\/uaag034.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,5]],"date-time":"2026-09-05T00:31:41Z","timestamp":1788568301000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/bjrcr\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/bjrcr\/uaag034\/8753986"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,7]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,21]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/bjrcr\/uaag034","relation":{},"ISSN":["2055-7159"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2055-7159","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2026,7]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,7]]},"article-number":"uaag034"}}
