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.

Successful embolization of a fistula between the ascending pharyngeal artery and internal jugular vein

Neuroradiology, 1978
The case of a fistula between the ascending pharyngeal artery and internal jugular vein in a patient with a high jugular bulb is presented. The lesion was missed by selective internal and external carotid angiography due to technical reasons, but was well demonstrated by common carotid and subsequent superselective ascending pharyngeal angiography.

Anastomosis Between the Ascending Pharyngeal Artery and the Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Through the Jugular Foramen

Operative Neurosurgery, 2016
The ascending pharyngeal artery (APA) may, in very rare cases, supply the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). In reported cases, when such is the case, the ipsilateral vertebral artery (VA) does not supply the PICA, and most of the time it is hypoplastic.To describe a unique cadaveric observation of a direct anastomosis between the posterior ...

Iatrogenic Ascending Pharyngeal Artery Injury by Predilation Balloon Inflation During Carotid Artery Stenting with Flow Reversal

World Neurosurgery, 2017
The ascending pharyngeal artery (APA) may rarely arise from the common carotid artery bifurcation. We report an injury to the APA as an unusual complication of predilation balloon inflation during carotid artery stenting (CAS) with flow reversal.A 73-year-old man presented with symptomatic severe left cervical internal carotid artery stenosis. The left

Is it Possible to Embolize the Hypoglossal branch of the Ascending Pharyngeal Artery without Complications?. A case series of Dural Arteriovenous Fistulae of the Craniocervical Junction

Journal of Clinical Case Studies Reviews & Reports, 2021
The ascending pharyngeal artery is a branch of the external carotid artery that supplies many pharyngeal, posterior fossa, and cranial nerve structures.

The ascending pharyngeal artery: Normal and pathological radioanatomy

Neuroradiology, 1976
A radioanatomical study of the ascending pharyngeal artery has been performed. Based on 10 injected specimens of anatomical material and 8 superselective, normal and pathological angiograms. The meningeal role of the ascending pharyngeal artery and its anastomoses with the middle meningeal and/or occipital arteries is emphasized.

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.

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 ...

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

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.
