[Internal carotid stump syndrome: report of a case].
The authors describe the case of a patient with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) from the ipsilateral occluded internal carotid artery (carotid stump syndrome). The patient was submitted to surgical resection of the stump with relief of the symptoms. Thromboembolism from the stump via the anastomotic supply is responsible for the TIAs and is worsened by the blood flow turbulence at this level.
