The Carotid-Hyoid Topography Is Variable

Conclusions: Mechanical compression of the hyoid bone on the carotid arteries has various undesirable effects on the ICA and cerebral circulation. Underlying these are several variational anatomical patterns of carotid-hyoid relationships, which can be accurately documented on CT angiograms. A case-by-case anatomical study is better than assuming the carotid anatomy learned from textbooks.PMID:37629784 | PMC:PMC10456548 | DOI:10.3390/medicina59081494
