J. Neuroradiol.1999 Feb 01; 20 AB - Summary: A 3-year-old child was examined because of otorrhagia. CT scans showed an unusual vessel, confirmed by angiography, related to a persistent pharyngohyostapedial artery. This embryonic persistent artery associated with the normal internal carotid artery would explain the “duplication” aspect of the internal carotid artery.
