Classification of internal carotid artery aberrations based on CTA imaging: evaluating the risk of ICA injury in the transoral approach to upper cervical surgery
Aberrations in the course of the ICA at the upper cervical level are relatively common, presenting a potential risk of ICA injury during the transoral approach for upper cervical surgery. Therefore, our classification of ICA aberrations based on CTA should be considered a standard component of preoperative evaluation.
