AB  - A  72-year-old  Caucasian  man  presented  1  week  after  an  episode  where  he  spontaneously  dropped  a  cigarette  he  was  holding  in  his  right  hand.  He  had  immediately  noted  an  inability  to  grasp  objects  and  numbness  in  his  right  hand.  These  symptoms  lasted  for  2  minutes  and  then  spontaneously  resolved.  After  this  episode  his  right  hand  felt  completely  normal.  He  denied  other  symptoms  such  as  amaurosis,  paralysis,  paresthesias,  speech  disturbance,  or  gait  disturbance.  His  past  medical  history  was  significant  for  hypertension,  hypercholesterolemia,  and  cramping  in  his  calves  when  he  walked  long  distances.  He  had  a  40  pack-year  history  of  smoking  and  denied  use  of  alcohol.  A  carotid  duplex  ultrasound  examination  showed  a  left  70%  to  99%  internal  carotid  artery  (ICA)  stenosis.
