BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Conventional transsurface carotid ultrasonography (TSCU) via the cervical surface often fails to detect dissection of the extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA). The role of transoral carotid ultrasonography (TOCU) in the detection of ICA dissection was examined.
METHOD: Patients with unilateral extracranial ICA dissection identified by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) from our database of patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) were reviewed. Findings of dissection were compared between TSCU and TOCU.
RESULTS: Eight patients (7 men, 37-69 years old), including 7 with ischemic stroke and 1 with TIA, had ICA dissection. By DSA, dissection was identified between the first and third vertebrae in 4 patients and from the third cervical vertebra to the intracranial level in the remaining 4. TOCU images revealed an intimal flap as definite evidence of dissection in all patients. In 7 patients, color flow signals were not seen in false lumens, indicating thrombosed lumens. Four patients showed morphological changes of dissection on follow-up TOCU, including a patient with recovery of color flow signals in false lumens. The diameter of the dissected ICA was 7.3 ± 0.7 mm and that of the contralateral ICA was 4.9 ± 0.6 mm (p = 0.008). In contrast, TSCU did not enable any conclusive findings of ICA dissection to be made in any patient. Six patients had intramural hematoma on T(1)-weighted MRI, and 2 had an intimal flap with a double lumen on magnetic resonance angiography.
CONCLUSION: TOCU has advantages over TSCU in achieving an accurate diagnosis and follow-up evaluation of ICA dissection.
