    External carotid artery disease can cause neurological symptoms when the internal carotid artery is blocked. Endarterectomy can relieve these symptoms.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Cerebrovascular Disease

    Background:

    • Internal carotid artery occlusion can lead to cerebrovascular events.
    • External carotid artery disease is often overlooked as a cause of neurological symptoms in this context.

    Observation:

    • Neurological symptoms can arise from reduced collateral flow or emboli originating from external carotid artery disease.
    • Five distinct clinical cases illustrate these presentations.

    Findings:

    • External carotid artery disease, in conjunction with internal carotid artery occlusion, can manifest as neurological deficits.
    • Symptomatic relief was observed following carefully chosen external carotid endarterectomy.

    Implications:

  • This highlights the importance of considering external carotid artery disease in patients with internal carotid artery occlusion and neurological symptoms.
  • External carotid endarterectomy may be a viable treatment option for selected patients, improving neurological outcomes.
