  • Title: Extra-cranial branch of the internal carotid artery.
    Author: Williams A, Fraser SC, Penney CC.
    Journal: Int Angiol; 2000 Sep; 19(3):285-7. PubMed ID: 11201600.
    Abstract:
    It has been argued in recent years that angiography is no longer essential before undertaking a carotid endarterectomy, relying solely on a carotid duplex scan. A case is presented where an extra-cranial branch of the internal carotid artery was found at surgery. This unexpected finding was obviated having obtained preoperative angiograms. Anomalies of the internal carotid artery are reviewed.
