Abstract

Twenty-three patients with pulstile bulging on the subclavian (14) and carotid triangles of the neck (9) were investigated with duplex ultrasonography and CT angiography to determine their causes. The causes of pulsatile bulging were innominate tortuosity (14) at right subclavian triangle and prominant carotid sinus (4), common carotid artery tortuosity (2), common carotid artery pseudoaneurysm (1), and carotid artery thrombosis (1) at carotid triangle.
