Variability in the position of the retropharyngeal internal carotid artery.
The retropharyngeal internal carotid artery (ICA) is a well-described arterial anomaly with important implications for patients undergoing pharyngeal approach surgical procedures. Existing clinical and imaging classification schemes for a retropharyngeal ICA take into account arterial distance to the pharyngeal mucosal wall. We describe a case of mobility of a retropharyngeal ICA between short-...
متن کاملClinically significant anatomical variation of the retropharyngeal internal carotid arteries
Although interpatient variations in the course and anatomy of extracranial internal carotid arteries (EICAs) have been described previously, intrapatient variability is rarely cited in the literature. Distance between EICAs and the pharyngeal wall is an important determinant of vascular injury risk. A retropharyngeal EICA has crucial implications in patients undergoing pharyngeal procedures, an...
متن کاملRetropharyngeal Lipoma: a case report
Introduction: Retropharyngeal lipoma is a rare benign tumor (less than 27 reports in literature) of nonspecific clinical symptoms. It can grow to an enormous extent causing total obstruction of the upper respiratory tract. Until now its etiology is unknown. Case Report: A 60-year old female complained from severe snoring mild dysphagia and moderate respiratory difficulty with gradual onset si...
متن کاملTibial Tunnel Preparation in Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Reconstruction. A Technical Tip to Lessen the Stress
Background: The purpose of this study was to introduce a technical tip for the preparation of tibial tunnel in a posteriorcruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction to reduce the chance of popliteal artery injury and duration of the surgery.Methods: This study included 18 patients who underwent PCL reconstructions at Imam Khomeini University Hospital,Tehran, Iran, between 2016 and...
متن کاملAn early MR observation of carotid involvement by retropharyngeal abscess.
We report early carotid involvement by retropharyngeal abscess in a 4-year-old boy. MR imaging showed enhancement of the wall and narrowing of the lumen of the internal carotid artery, which were thought to reflect spasm and/or arteritis. Prompt treatment may have prevented hemorrhagic and neurologic complications.
