Cases of unilateral internal carotid artery occlusion reveal significant neurological outcomes and treatment considerations.

The study aims to review the neurological outcomes associated with unilateral internal carotid arterial occlusion and contralateral stenosis.
Reviewed cases of patients with unilateral internal carotid arterial occlusion and contralateral stenosis.
Followed patients for an average of 19 months after treatment.
Evaluated complications related to carotid endarterectomy and the role of extracranial-intracranial bypass.
42% of patients presented with fixed neurological deficits, primarily related to the occluded side (92%).
11% experienced neurological complications post-endarterectomy, 67% relating to stenosis.
No additional TIAs or strokes occurred in patients during the follow-up period.

Andersen et al. (1977) studied this question.
