| Popis: | BACKGROUND Many abnormalities in the course of the major vessels of the head and neck have been described. Special care must be taken in case of deviation of the internal carotid artery bulging the pharyngeal wall. PATIENTS In two cases we demonstrate internal carotid arteries partially running underneath the posterior pharyngeal wall. RESULTS Those variations are often asymptomatic, only requiring surgical treatment when causing neurologic complaints. On the other hand, they may be very dangerous, if operations in the upper pharynx are carried out. CONCLUSIONS The surgeon (in special the younger surgeon) must be well-informed about potential vascular abnormalities, before performing "routine-operations" (tonsillectomies, adenotomies) in the upper pharynx. |
