Carotid web, defined radiologically as shelf–like intraluminal filling defect. It is a rare cause of ischemic stroke. Recently with advancing of neuroimaging, it has been frequently recognized as an associated risk factor for recurrent ischemic strokes, optimal treatment is still a dilemma, early recognition and interventions is the cornerstone for decreasing stroke recurrence. In my report, I described a middle aged male with no stroke risk factors defined previously , presented with acute ischemic stroke secondary to a carotid web, treated successfully by endovascular stenting with no stroke recurrence on 2 years follow ups.
