Abstract
Abstract Carotid web (CW) is a rare condition where a shelf-like projection of intimal fibrous tissue is seen arising from the posterior wall of the carotid bulb. It is regarded as a high-risk factor for ischemic stroke of undetermined etiology. Although there is no clear consensus as to the management of these patients, the published literature is more in favor of intervention rather than medical management due to the higher incidence of recurrent stroke in conservatively managed patients. We present a case of a young woman with ischemic stroke due to CW who was managed successfully with thrombolysis followed by endovascular management.
