    Carotid webs are linked to cryptogenic ischemic stroke and exhibit various morphologic characteristics associated with symptoms.

  • 2

    A study evaluated 126 carotid web cases, categorizing them as symptomatic or asymptomatic based on stroke or TIA occurrences.

  • 3

    Symptomatic lesions showed more acute pre-web angles, larger pocket areas, and greater internal carotid calibers than asymptomatic lesions.

  • 4

    The simplified SCORE-WEB score, based on five anatomical parameters, achieved an AUC of 0.824, indicating good discriminative performance.

  • 5

    Further validation of SCORE-WEB in larger datasets is necessary, along with exploration of clinical variables to enhance predictive performance.
