A retropharyngeal course of the carotid artery is an uncommon variant. Recognition of this anatomic anomaly is important in avoiding severe hemorrhage with endotracheal intubation and oropharyngeal procedures and for planning carotid interventions. We present a rare case of stenting for an asymptomatic, high-grade stenosis in a retropharyngeal internal carotid artery.
颈动脉咽后走行是一种罕见的变异。认识到这种解剖异常对于避免气管插管和口咽手术时的严重出血以及规划颈动脉干预措施很重要。我们报告了一例为咽后段颈内动脉无症状重度狭窄进行支架置入的罕见病例。
