Radiological and Clinical Findings of Non-bifurcating Carotid Artery With Aberrant Course: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

A non-bifurcating carotid artery is a rare variation in the carotid circulation. Here we present a rare case of a non-bifurcating carotid artery with an aberrant course of the internal carotid artery incidentally discovered in a patient who presented to the trauma center after a fall. To our knowled...

description A non-bifurcating carotid artery is a rare variation in the carotid circulation. Here we present a rare case of a non-bifurcating carotid artery with an aberrant course of the internal carotid artery incidentally discovered in a patient who presented to the trauma center after a fall. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a non-bifurcating carotid artery with an aberrant course of the internal carotid artery. The embryonic mechanisms of this variation and the available literature regarding this condition are also reviewed. Knowing this variation is necessary before considering vascular intervention of the neck and ear surgery to avoid vascular injury and complications.
