A carotid occlusion on a CTA is sometimes difficult to distinguish if acute or chronic. Often, there are no prior images available. Below are some hints that a cervical carotid occlusion is acute or subacute as opposed to chronic. #stroke #MedEd #neurotwitter

This is my approach. If within 4.5 hrs from LKWT & deficits:
1- clearly disabling or non-clearly disabling, favor TNK & ? EVT.
2- resolved, hold off IVT but can argue to reset the clock & treat w IVT if sxs recur.
3- clearly non-disabling, favor holding off IVT.

1/Time to go with the flow!
Hoping no one notices you don’t know the anatomy of internal carotid (ICA)?
Do you say “carotid siphon” & hope no one asks for more detail?
Here’s a thread to help you siphon off some information about ICA anatomy!
