AB  - The  patient  is  an  83-year-old,  right-handed  woman  with  a  past  history  of  type  2  diabetes,  hypertension,  hyperlipidemia,  and  asthma  who  presents  10  days  after  experiencing  an  episode  of  right  eye  visual  loss  and  left-sided  hemiplegia  lasting  approximately  5  minutes,  with  spontaneous  resolution.  Given  the  transient  nature  of  her  symptoms,  the  patient  did  not  seek  medical  care,  but  saw  her  primary  care  physician  several  days  later,  who  subsequently  ordered  a  magnetic  resonance  image/magnetic  resonance  angiogram  (MRI/MRA)  for  further  evaluation.  She  was  sent  to  the  emergency  department  (ED)  when  the  scan  was  notable  for  subacute  infarct  in  the  right  frontal  cortex  (Figure  23-1)  and  an  absence  of  flow-related  signal  in  the  right  common  carotid  bifurcation,  highly  suggestive  of  carotid  stenosis  (Figure  23-1).  In  the  ED,  the  patient  was  in  no  acute  distress,  her  vitals  were  stable,  and  her  physical  examination  was  notable  for  mild  left  facial  asymmetry  but  an  otherwise  benign  neurologic  examination.
