Abstract
Aberrant internal carotid arteries presenting as pharyngeal masses are described in the literature. Eight patients were evaluated by CT, angiography or MRI. Our studies indicated that the phyaryngeal pseudo masses were due to aberrant carotid vessels. Unlike the previous reports, in tour of our eight cases both common and internal carotid arteries were the cause of the suspected mass. Contrast-enhanced CT studies consistently demonstrated the abnormalities. MRI may be done if patients have a contraindication to intravenous iodinated contrast administration.
