✦ Synopsis

Common carotid artery dissection is rare. It is a recognized but uncommon complication when direct percutaneous carotid arteriography is performed.'s2 It can be seen as an extension of aortic d i s ~e c t i o n , ~, ~ and after t r a ~m a . ~ We report a case of dissection of the common carotid artery after placement of an internal jugular vein catheter detected by dynamic image and color flow Doppler ultrasonography. To our knowledge, it is the first case documented by sonography of iatrogenic common carotid artery (CCA) dissection unrelated to aortic dissection.

Purpose. Visualization of carotid artery stenosis is important to improve our understanding of the etiology of ischemic stroke. Two sonographic methods are available for visualizing carotid stenosis: power Doppler imaging (PDI) and color Doppler imaging (CDI). The purpose of this study was to compar
