外文摘要：Spontaneous recanalization of extracranial internal carotid artery atherosclerotic occlusion is rare in clinical practice. Herein, we reported two cases of acute cerebral infarction after spontaneous recanalization of extracranial internal carotid artery atherosclerotic occlusion. The patients were confirmed as extracranial internal carotid artery with chronic occlusion by imaging. One month after the diagnosis of occlusion, recanalization of symptomatic internal carotid artery occurred, which was confirmed by CT angiography, leading to ipsilateral hemiplegia. The patients underwent conservative medical treatment. Ipsilateral stroke or transient ischemic attack did not occur during long-term follow-up (> 2 years). Additionally, a literature review was conducted based on the incidence, possible mechanisms, treatment and prognosis in order to increase the awareness of this rare clinical phenomenon.
