Carotid web (CaW) is a cause of recurrent ischemic stroke that remains underdiagnosed using Duplex ultrasound (DUS). Improved methods and description of its ultrasound's features could allow better detection of CaW. Ultrasound microflow imaging (MFI) is a blood flow imaging technique sensitive to slow flow that could increase CaW detection. This study aimed to describe ultrasound features of CaW using B-mode imaging and MFI. ⋯ We report the ultrasound features from a series of 24 CaW. The use of MFI in addition to B-mode imaging improved the detection rate of CaW.
