Ascending pharyngeal-vertebral anastomosis demonstrated by computed tomography angiography of the ascending pharyngeal artery: a case report

Acta Radiologica, 2011
Ascending pharyngeal-vertebral anastomosis has been identified by angiography of the carotid artery in several cases. We present a case of ascending pharyngeal-vertebral anastomosis that was found incidentally in computed tomography angiography of the ascending pharyngeal artery.

[Anatomo-clinical findings on the ascending pharyngeal artery].

Anatomischer Anzeiger, 1984
Origin, width, course and twigs of the ascending pharyngeal artery are investigated on 63 head-helves. In about 80% this vessel is a twig from the external carotid artery or from a common trunc from this vessel. In 20% there is a twig from an other artery (In 4,8% the ascending pharyngeal artery is a twig of the internal carotid artery).

Trauma-induced ascending pharyngeal artery-internal jugular vein fistula: case report

Surgical Neurology, 2004
Ascending pharyngeal artery-internal jugular vein fistulas are rare. Only 2 spontaneous cases and one complicated neck surgery have been reported. We describe a trauma-induced case.A 31-year-old man presented left-sided tinnitus and a pulsating bruit for 5 months after head trauma.

Biomechanical responses after Wingspan Stent deployment in swine ascending pharyngeal artery

Neurological Research, 2013
Symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis is associated with a high rate of recurrent stroke. Endovascular angioplasty and stenting using the Wingspan(TM) Stent (Stryker) has been used for treatment of this disorder. However, a recent randomized trial (SAMMPRIS Clinical Trial) reported that it was inferior to aggressive medical management.

Ectopic origin of the ascending pharyngeal artery: implications for carotid surgery

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2018
In its normal anatomy, the extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) does not have branches. The most common cause of an extracranial ICA branch is the ectopic placement of one of the named external carotid artery branches. Other causes of extracranial ICA branches include persistent fetal carotid-vertebrobasilar anastomoses and recannalized ...

Anomalous Ascending Pharyngeal Artery Arising from the Internal Carotid Artery: Report of Three Cases

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2013
Anomalous branches from the internal carotid artery (ICA) have been reported rarely in the literature. We report three cases of ascending pharyngeal arising from the ICA. It is essential to be aware of these variations in carotid artery surgery.

THE ASCENDING PHARYNGEAL ARTERY AND ITS RELEVANCE FOR NEUROSURGICAL AND ENDOVASCULAR PROCEDURES

Operative Neurosurgery, 2009
The ascending pharyngeal artery (APA), a branch of the external carotid artery (ECA), supplies the lower cranial nerves, superior cervical ganglion, and nasopharyngeal structures. The APA can also supply blood to various intracranial lesions. We studied the anatomy of the APA in the context of its neurosurgical and endovascular relevance.The cervical ...

Subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to an aneurysm of the ascending pharyngeal artery

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1981
✓ The authors report a patient presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) secondary to one of two saccular aneurysms arising from the dural branches of the ascending pharyngeal artery. The aneurysms were obliterated by surgery without complications.

Therapeutic embolization of an ascending pharyngeal artery-internal jugular vein fistula

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1988
✓ The authors report a case of an arteriovenous fistula between the ascending pharyngeal artery and the internal jugular vein. The importance of an exact diagnosis and some precautions to be taken during therapeutic embolization are emphasized, as well as the need for superselective cannulation of the feeding artery.

Ascending pharyngeal artery-internal jugular vein fistula complicating radical neck dissection

Neuroradiology, 1992
Arteriovenous fistulae of the ascending pharyngeal artery (AP) and internal jugular vein (IJ) are rare. Only two spontaneous AP-IJ fistulae have been described previously, both of which presented with pulsatile tinnitus. A unique case of an AP-IJ fistula developing after radical neck dissection is described in which the clinical presentation was ...
