Abstract:
Internal carotid artery hypoplasia is a rare vascular anomaly that can lead to various neurological symptoms due to altered cerebral blood flow. We present a case of a 36 years old female who presented to us with forgetfulness and right sided weakness. She was ultimately diagnosed with bilateral internal carotid artery hypoplasia through imaging studies. This case highlights the importance of considering vascular anomalies in patients presenting with neurological symptoms and the significance of comprehensive diagnostic evaluation for appropriate management.

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.

The coronary arteries, originating from the ascending aorta, bifurcate from two sinuses located within the ascending aorta. Positioned just above the aortic semilunar valve, these sinuses house essential aortic baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, crucial for maintaining cardiac function. The left coronary artery and the right coronary artery branch off from the left posterior and anterior aortic sinuses, respectively.
