Rare variant of internal carotid artery anatomy

[Surgical anatomy of the internal carotid artery].

Starting from the carotid trigone, a surgical approach to the parapharyngeal part of the internal carotid artery is described. The retrostyloidal part of the lateropharyngeal space is opened up from laterocaudal after resecting the posterior belly of the digastric muscle and the styloidal muscles. Vulneration of the cranial nerves (VII, IX, X) has to be prevented.

MOJ Anatomy & Physiology Lateral External Carotid Artery and Linguofacial Trunk: A Rare Anatomic Variant

Knowledge of the variations of the arteries in the carotid triangle is important because its existence can have significant impact on treatment success, especially during surgical or radiological intervention in the region. During routine students’ dissection of an adult male cadaver, as part of a functional human anatomy course, a rare anatomic variant was observed in the carotid triangle on t...

Surgical anatomy of petrous part of the internal carotid artery

Exposition of the petrous part of the internal carotid artery (pICA) necessitates close control during surgery for proximal internal carotid artery aneurysms. The most difficult manipulation is the exposure of the internal carotid artery on the level of the carotid canal, and in most cases it is accompanied by local neurological complications in postoperative period that are results of the trau...

Aplasia of the Internal Carotid Artery with Dandy-Walker Variant.

Dear Editor, A 28-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of headache, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) led to a diagnosis of suspected intracranial malformation. She had been in good health and had developed normally prior to developing the symptom. A neurological examination on admission revealed no anomaly. Brain MRI revealed agenesis of the inferior part of cerebellar vermis and ...
