Abstract

We report a case of evolving multiple vascular dissections where transcranial Doppler with emboli monitoring provided evidence of hemodynamic compromise after microembolic high-intensity signals suggested a clinical change in a patient presenting with a single left carotid artery dissection and pseudoaneurysm. She initially presented with Horner syndrome and later developed signs of right-sided ischemia on maximal medical therapy necessitating carotid stenting.
