Injury to the internal carotid artery during routine pharyngeal surgery is a rare and potentially catastrophic complication. Aberrations of the cervical blood vessels that might cause lethal post-tonsillectomy bleeding are clearly important but largely unpredictable, even when associated with pediatric head and neck syndromes. We describe a patient in whom aberrant cervical carotid artery was an incidental finding prior to a scheduled tonsillectomy.
在常规咽部手术中，颈内动脉损伤是一种罕见且可能带来灾难性后果的并发症。可能导致扁桃体切除术后致命性出血的颈部血管变异显然很重要，但即便与儿童头颈部综合征相关，也大多无法预测。我们描述了一名患者，其异常的颈部颈动脉在预定的扁桃体切除术前是一个偶然发现。
