Aberrant retropharyngeal (submucosal) internal carotid artery: an under-recognized, clinically significant variant.

Sivasubramanian Srinivasan1, Syed Zama Ali, Lim Tze Chwan.   

Abstract

We present a case of a 71-year-old woman who was incidentally found to have aberrant retropharyngeal internal carotid artery, lying very close to the pharyngeal mucosa, on imaging. Radiologists, otolaryngologists and anaesthetists should be aware of this clinically significant variant which can result in life-threatening bleeding during procedures in the oral cavity or oropharynx.
