Carotid webs are intraluminal filling defects at the carotid bulb which are considered rare, though possibly underappreciated entities with recent studies demonstrating a likely casual association with ischemic stroke. The purpose of the study is to describe our recent experience with clinical and imaging manifestations of carotid webs. ⋯ We provide one of the largest sample sizes of webs gathered in a single study. Given its association with ischemic stroke, carotid webs should be assessed for in all patients presenting with ischemic stroke, especially younger African Americans.
