Synchronous Aberration of the Jugular and Carotid —a Case Report

AbstractVascular aberrations in the head and neck region pose a grave diagnostic and a surgical challenge. Numerous reports in the literature have highlighted the incidence and the lethality associated with carotid or jugular anomalies signifying the need for awareness and preparedness by the clinicians while treating patients. Our paper reports a peculiar case showing asymptomatic double vessel aberration in relation to the internal jugular vein as an ectasia and carotid kinking in the same patient diagnosed with oral carcinoma. In addition, carotid kissing was also noted at the pharyngeal level.
