Arterya Karotis İnterna'nın Seyir Varyasyonları

Öz

Objective: Internal carotis artery (ICA), begins as three branches of arteria carotis communis, aligned with the upper edge of cartilago thyroidea. Knowing the anatomic details of this area well, will help the surgeons to a great extent in preventing complications during dissection of the neck region. This study was aimed to determine the variations in the course of ICA and its frequency of appearance in Turkish population. Material and Methods: This study was performed on multidedectör computerize tomografi anjiografi (MDCTA) image. In this study 94 patients aged between 31 and 86 (32 females-62 males), (94 right-94 left, total 188 cases) were included. Results: In our study, ICA cervical area was found to exhibit 4 different variation types. Conclusion: We believe that the variation types determined and exhibited in our study will be helpful for surgeons and radiologists in their diagnosis and treatments

Arterya Karotis İnterna'nın Seyir Varyasyonları

Öz

Amaç: Arterya karotis interna (AKİ) tiroid kıkırdağın üst kenarı hizasında, arterya karotis communis’in uç dalı olarak başlar. Boyun diseksiyonu sırasında, bölgeye ait anatomik detayların iyi bilinmesi, cerrahlara, bu komplikasyonlardan kaçınmada, önemli ölçüde yardımcı olacaktır. Yapmış olduğumuz çalışmada Türk toplumuna ait AKİ’nin seyir varyasyonlarını ve görülme sıklıklarını tespit etme amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma multidedektör komputerize tomografi anjiografi (MDCTA) görüntüleri üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Çalışmaya yaşları 31 ile 86 arasında yer alan 94 hasta (32 kadın-62 erkek) (94 sağ-94 sol, toplam 188 olgu) dahil edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda AKİ’nin servikal bölgede 4 farklı seyir tipi gösterdiği tespit edildi. Tartışma: Çalışmamızda ortaya koyduğumuz seyir varyasyonlarının cerrahlar ve radyologlara teşhis ve tedavi açısından faydalı olacağını düşünmekteyiz
