It is not an uncommon occurrence, having been found in 69 of 3,500 autopsies.1Recognition and description of this syndrome has been variously credited but it is apparent that Moniz,2in describing the findings in angiography, revived interest in the condition. Previously Hunt,3Penzoldt4and others had described patients with carotid artery thrombosis and Hunt stressed carotid artery palpation as a means of distinguishing this lesion from other vascular diseases of the brain. The more recent articles have dealt with the clinical features,5, 6, 7the...1 Hultquist GT: Über Thrombose und Embolie der Arteria carotis und hierbei vorkommende Gehirnstörungen, 1942, Gustav Fischer, Jena.
