Bilateral aberrant internal carotid artery case presentation.

Cases of aberrant internal carotid artery in the middle ear have been well documented. However, bilateral aberrant intratympanic carotid artery presentation, as in this case, is quite rare. In addition, in this case, there was unilateral duplication of the cervical and petrous portions of one internal carotid artery such that the duplicated portion rejoined the normal internal carotid artery in its petrous portion. The purpose of this article is to review the literature regarding aberrant internal carotid artery presentation in the middle ear and to discuss the related embryological and anatomical features as well as diagnosis of this lesion, using a unique case as an example.

Pseudomyxoma peritonei: computed tomography and sonography.

Computed tomography was used to evaluate four patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei. Sonography was used to evaluate two of these patients. In three of four cases, the findings of liver scalloping and/or ascitis septations suggested the diagnosis. The differential diagnosis fo widespread peritoneal processes is considered.

The Andy Gump fracture of the mandible: a cause of respiratory obstruction or distress.

Bilateral body fractures of the elderly edentulous atrophic mandible can cause a characteristic facial deformity and prolapse of the tongue into the pharynx, obstructing the airway (3). Early clinical and radiographic diagnosis of this injury is important. Stabilization of the fracture fragments restores the bony support for the tongue and helps establish patency of the airway.
