Persistence of stapedial artery, our experience: A case report

Abstract

Stapedial artery persistence is an uncommon issue to encounter in ordinary ENT practise. If they are, they typically show up as a pulsatile mass or as a sneaky discovery. Due to the condition’s rarity, most individuals are asymptomatic, but occasionally it can induce vertigo, pulsatile tinnitus, or conductive hearing loss in certain people. Hereby, we present a case of incidental discovery of persistent stapedial artery in a patient with complaints of nasal obstruction.
