A rare multichannel internal carotid artery (ICA) anomaly was incidentally discovered. This cervical ICA variation, likely congenital, presented without symptoms or brain changes, though acquired causes remain possible.
Area of Science:
- Vascular anatomy
- Embryology
- Diagnostic imaging
Background:
- Internal carotid artery (ICA) anomalies are uncommon, with duplication and fenestration being more frequent than complex variations like aberrant ICA.
- The cervical segment of the ICA is typically stable from an embryologic perspective.
