Abstract:

 

Bilateral pharyngeal internal carotid artery aberration is a rarely seen variation which poses a risk during the surgical interventions of this area. A 74-yearold male patient was admitted to our clinic with the complaints of a sensation of fullness in his throat and dysphagia. Oropharyngeal examination revealed bilateral smooth-surfaced masses in the posterior pharyngeal wall. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an aberrant internal carotid artery. The patient was followed up with necessary warnings. The pulsation on the pharyngeal masses should be definitely evaluated and aberrant internal carotid artery should be kept in mind, if present.

 

İki taraflı farengeal internal karotis arter aberas- yonu nadir görülen ve bu bölgenin cerrahi girişim- leri sırasında risk teşkil eden bir varyasyondur.  Yetmiş dört yaşında erkek hasta boğazında dol- gunluk ve yutma güçlüğü yakınması ile kliniği- mize başvurdu. Orofarenks muayenesinde arka  farenks duvarında iki taraflı, düzgün yüzeyli kit- leler görüldü. Manyetik rezonans görüntülemede  aberan internal karotis arter kitlesi izlendi. Hasta  gerekli uyarılar yapılarak takibe alındı. Farenks  kitlelerinde kitle üzerinde pulsasyon mutlaka  değerlendirilmeli ve eğer varsa, aberan internal  karotis arter akılda bulundurulmalıdır.
