A Rare Case of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage caused by Ruptured Venous Varix Due to Dural Arteriovenous Fistula at the Foramen Magnum Fed Solely by the Ascending Pharyngeal Artery. [PDF]
Dural arteriovenous fistula (D-AVF) at the foramen magnum is an extremely rare disease entity. It produces venous hypertension, and can lead to progressive cervical myelopathy thereafter.

Anatomical Variations of the Ascending Pharyngeal Artery: Implications for Endoscopic Surgery in the Parapharyngeal Space [PDF]
Objectives: The ascending pharyngeal artery (APA) travels with the parapharyngeal internal carotid artery (pICA) in the parapharyngeal space (PPS). This study aimed to investigate the anatomical variations of the APA, and to explore their implications ...

Origin Variants of the Ascending Pharyngeal Artery and Sequential External Carotid Branching Classification [PDF]
Background/Objectives: The ascending pharyngeal artery (APA) exhibits considerable variability in origin. Understanding its anatomy is essential for head and neck surgery, endovascular procedures, and skull base approaches.

Occlusion of the ascending pharyngeal artery during carotid artery surgery: importance and technique [PDF]
In surgeries involving clamping, opening and repairing the carotid artery such as carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and proximal anastomosis at radial artery (RA) grafting, back-bleeding, often due to insufficient occlusion of the ascending pharyngeal artery (APA), must be avoided.

Delayed Pulsatile Tinnitus by an Ascending Pharyngeal Artery-Internal Jugular Vein Fistula Caused by Blunt Trauma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature [PDF]
Head and neck trauma-induced pulsatile tinnitus (PT) should be approached with caution, as it can rarely be attributed to an arteriovenous fistula (AVF).
