Duplication of the extracranial internal carotid artery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a case of duplication of the left internal carotid artery from a point 1 cm distal to the origin to the proximal petrous segment where the vessel reunites. Duplication and fenestration of the internal carotid artery are discussed. A review of embryologic development is presented. Identification of these entities is important, especially in patients who require surgical intervention involving the internal carotid artery.

BACKGROUND Sickle cell anemia is one of the commonest causes of stroke in children. It is usually, but not always, associated with intracranial vasculopathy. We have assessed the value of ultrasound screening for extracranial internal carotid artery disease.
