THE FIRST REPORT OF CAROTID SHEATH HY DATID CYST

Metallic foreign body penetrating the carotid sheath: a case report.

Foreign bodies are a common problem seen in otolaryngological practice. Of the reported foreign bodies, metallic foreign bodies are a rare entity. One of the least common complications of foreign body ingestion is penetration and migration. We describe a case of a migrating metallic foreign body in a 50-year-old woman with a history of accidental ingestion causing odynophagia. In the present ca...

Report of a Variation of the Right Common Carotid Artery

Carotid artery is the most important artery that carries the major part of the blood supply to the head and neck. The branching of the common carotid artery usually occurs at the upper edge of the thyroid cartilage. The placement of carotid sinus has also increased its importance in this area. Considering the clinical importance of knowledge about carotid artery variations, this case is reporte...

Cavernous hemangioma of the carotid sheath.

CT of the neck revealed a 5.1 by 4.0 by 5.5 cm well defined soft tissue mass medial to the right SCM. The mass was splaying the carotid artery and internal jugular vein. The right internal jugular vein was deviated and compressed along the anterior lateral aspect of the mass. An enhancing vessel was noted within the posterior aspect of this mass. There was a mild low density along the posterior...

Idiopathic inflammatory pseudotumor of the carotid sheath.

We present a biopsy proven case of 47 years-old man with a carotid pseudotumor, clinically presented as carotidynia. CT showed a mass encasing and narrowing the common carotid artery and MRI showed hypointense signal in T2 and intense enhancement after contrast media administration. The patient was suspected to have an inflammatory process and steroids were prescribed. Eight days after the ster...

The carotid sheath: an anatomicophathologic study.

BACKGROUND Recurrences in the neck after neck dissections occur even in previously operated fields. Although the pathogenesis is unclear, it is well established that recurrences commonly occur at the jugular chain of nodes close to the carotid artery. We investigated the carotid sheath as possibly responsible for such regional recurrences. METHODS Patients undergoing therapeutic or elective n...
