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.

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 ...

Double ascending pharyngeal artery: the first evidence

Anatomical Science International
Most studies of the ascending pharyngeal artery (APA) observed its different possibilities of origin. No evidence had been previously presented of either double or partly duplicated APAs. The anatomic variants reported here were found during the retrospective review of archived angioCT imaging data from two adult males, both aged 65 years. In the first

Aberrant Ascending Pharyngeal Artery Mimicking a Partially Occluded Internal Carotid Artery

Journal of Neuroimaging, 2004
ABSTRACTDoppler sonography has become a primary imaging modality for the diagnosis of carotid arterial stenosis. Carotid stenting for a severely stenotic but not completely occluded carotid artery is becoming an alternative to carotid endarterectomy in selected groups of patients. The authors discuss a case of complete occlusion of the internal carotid

Hemifacial spasm caused by an aberrant jugular branch of the ascending pharyngeal artery

British Journal of Neurosurgery, 2014
We present the first report of a case of hemifacial spasm caused by an anomalous, enlarged branch of the ascending pharyngeal artery and treated with microvascular decompression. Clinicians must appreciate unusual causes of hemifacial spasm so that patients are not denied a curative operation due to atypical radiographic findings.

Missed Dissection as a Result of the Ascending Pharyngeal Artery Arising From the Internal Carotid Artery

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2011
Unlike high-grade stenosis, dissections of craniocervical arteries are a rare cause of cerebrovascular infarction. If the internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is verified by duplex scanning or computed tomography angiography (CTA), the therapies of choice are antiplatelet and anticoagulation drugs, and surgical treatment is rarely performed ...

A contribution by the ascending pharyngeal artery to the arterial supply of the odontoid process of the axis vertebra

Clinical Anatomy, 1997
The origin of transverse arterial branches that contribute to the arterial supply of the odontoid process (dens axis) is not clear. Dissections were performed on 20 injected fetal and adult human cranio-cervical junctions to demonstrate the origin of the arteries that contribute feeding branches to the arteries supplying the neck of the odontoid ...

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.

Anatomical features and clinical significance of the ascending pharyngeal artery in carotid endarterectomy

Neurosurgical Review
This study aimed to elucidate the anatomical characteristics of the ascending pharyngeal artery (APhA) using three-dimensional rotational angiography (3D-RA) and its role in preventing complications during carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Data from 279 primary CEAs (259 patients; median age, 73 years; male/female ratio, 6.2:1) conducted between 2006 and ...

The ascending pharyngeal artery: branches, anastomoses, and clinical significance.

AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2002
Neuroradiologists generally do not fully appreciate the importance of the territory of the ascending pharyngeal artery. The ascending pharyngeal artery is a small but important artery that supplies multiple cranial nerves and anastomotic channels to the anterior and posterior cerebral circulations. Several disease processes in the head and neck involve
