Arteries are elongated and twisted

Internal carotid artery distortion refers to a rare cerebrovascular disease in which the extracranial segment of the internal carotid artery is too long and dilates, causing deformities such as twists, circles, and scabs that cause insufficient blood supply to the brain. Can happen on one side. Can also be bilateral. Generally more or more heavy on the right.
