Allioui S, Sninate S, Abdellaoui M. Aberrant internal carotid artery presenting as an oropharyngeal mass. Int J Case Rep Images 2020;11:101122Z01SA2020.ABSTRACT
Aberrant internal carotid artery is a quite unusual condition that can cause a foreign body sensation in the throat. The case study is about a 49-year-old woman with dysphagia associated to a foreign body sensation in her throat, developed for the last weeks owing to aberrant retropharyngeal internal carotid artery, which was diagnosis by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the neck. Because of the fatal complications of this variant, the radiologists, anesthetists, and surgeons be fully aware of its eventual priority.
