Abstract

Internal carotid artery fenestration is a rare vascular anomaly that may present with transient ischemic attack symptoms due to localized flow disturbances. It is important to report such cases, as they present unique diagnostic challenges and clinical implications, particularly when associated with systemic vascular risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension. Differentiating internal carotid artery fenestration from other conditions, such as internal carotid artery dissection, is crucial for appropriate management and patient outcomes.
