Abstract
Transoral carotid ultrasonography (TOCU) is a new method to evaluate the fa r distal segment of the extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) and may be superior to conventional carotid ultrasonography in evaluating ICA disse ction, The authors report on the use of TOCU in detecting early stage ICA d issection.
