La estenosis carotídea es el estrechamiento de las arterias en el cuello debido a depósitos de grasa y colesterol (placa) dentro de las arterias carótidas. El estrechamiento aumenta la posibilidad de un bloqueo, lo que resulta en un accidente cerebrovascular cuando el cerebro no recibe suficiente suministro de sangre. Cuando se presentan síntomas como dificultad para hablar y visión borrosa, es necesaria ayuda médica inmediata.
