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-year- old 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.

Özet

İki taraflı farengeal internal karotis arter aberasyonu nadir görülen ve bu bölgenin cerrahi girişimleri sırasında risk teşkil eden bir varyasyondur. Yetmiş dört yaşında erkek hasta boğazında dolgunluk ve yutma güçlüğü yakınması ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Orofarenks muayenesinde arka farenks duvarında iki taraflı, düzgün yüzeyli kitleler 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.
