Intracranial large artery embolism due to carotid thrombosis caused by a neck massager: A case report

Figure 2 Carotid ultrasound and high-resolution enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of an intracranial major artery embolism due to carotid artery thrombosis caused by a neck massager. A and B: Carotid ultrasound revealed that the right extent was approximately 12.8 mm × 3.8 mm, and the left extent was approximately 14.8 mm × 4.3 mm. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound showed that the thrombus was reduced on the fourth day, with no enhancement; C and D: The right extent was approximately 6.5 mm × 2.1 mm, and the left extent was approximately 6.4 mm × 2.4 mm; E: High-resolution enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the neck vessels suggested a filling defect in the right common carotid arterie.
