  • Snapshot
    • A 34-year-old woman presents to the emergency department with constant and severe right-sided headaches. One day prior to presentation, she was in a minor motor vehicle accident where her head jerked forward. She has also noticed mild eye-lid drooping earlier in the day. She smokes approximately 2-3 cigarettes per day. On physical exam, she has right-sided ptosis and miosis without anhydrosis. A non-contrast CT scan and CT angiography is performed, which demonstrates a tapered stenosis of the internal carotid artery and an intimal flap.
