Article Synopsis
- The study looked at strokes caused by a neck problem called carotid artery web (CaW) in young patients, who often don't have typical stroke risk factors.
- Researchers used a score called RoPE to see how many patients had high-risk profiles related to CaW, and found that many had high scores.
- The results suggest that doctors need to look for CaW in stroke patients, even if they have a condition called patent foramen ovale (PFO), to figure out the real cause of their strokes.
