Descriptor English: Carotid Stenosis
Descriptor Spanish: Estenosis Carotídea
Descriptor estenosis carotídea
Entry term(s) estrechamiento de la arteria carótida
úlcera de la carótida
Scope note: Estrechamiento o estenosis de cualquier parte de las ARTERIAS CARÓTIDAS, principalmente debido a la formación de placas ateroscleróticas. En las placas ateroscleróticas se pueden producir úlceras que pueden inducir la formación de TROMBOS. A partir de las lesiones estenóticas carotídeas pueden originarse émbolos de plaquetas o de colesterol que causen un ATAQUE ISQUÉMICO TRANSITORIO, ACCIDENTE CEREBROVASCULAR o ceguera temporal (AMAUROSIS FUGAX). (Traducción libre del original: Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp822-3).

Scope note: Narrowing or stricture of any part of the CAROTID ARTERIES, most often due to atherosclerotic plaque formation. Ulcerations may form in atherosclerotic plaques and induce THROMBUS formation. Platelet or cholesterol emboli may arise from stenotic carotid lesions and induce a TRANSIENT ISCHEMIC ATTACK; CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT; or temporary blindness (AMAUROSIS FUGAX).
