A cadaveric study of morphology and morphometry of petrous and cavernous parts of the internal carotid artery

INTRODUCTION:The posterior communicating artery is the main anastomotic channel of circle of willis.It joins internal carotid artery and vertebra-basilar arterial system. The size of posterior communicating artery varies frequently.The hypoplasia or aplasia of posterior communicating artery can detrmine the prognosis of neurological diseases. AIM:To study the variations and caliber of posterior communicating artery MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 104 specimens were collected,cleaned ,dissected and xed in formalin.Anatomical variations and caliber of posterior communicating artery were carefully recorded and photographed. RESULTS: In the present study,the hypoplasia of posterior communicating artery was one of the frequent variations which were observed in 16.7% of the subjects followed by aplasia in 15.5% and duplication in 1% . CONCLUSION: Awareness of these variations is important in diagnosis of neurological disorders and in neurovascular surgeries.

Deep Neck Infections

Internal carotid artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of deep neck infections. The authors report the case of a 17-year-old male who presented to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology with an acute tonsillitis requiring tonsillectomy. Four weeks after the surgery the patient was readmitted because of progressive swallowing, trismus, and worsening headache. Computed tomography revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the left internal carotid artery in the extracranial segment. A bare Wallstent was implanted primarily and a complete occlusion of the pseudoaneurysm was achieved. The endovascular approach is a quick and safe method for the treatment of a pseudoaneurysm of the internal carotid artery.
