Streak artifact. Axial CT angiogram shows extensive streak artifact emanating from the dental amalgam, which makes the evaluation of arterial contours difficult.

Additionally, one may imagine the presence of linear filling defects in the normal bilateral ICAs (arrowheads); the artifactual streaks mimic subtle dissection flaps.
