title: [Aberrant course of the intrapetrous internal carotid in the eardrum. Analysis of a personal case. Review of the literature (author's transl)].
abstract: A new case of aberrant course of the internal carotid artery in the eardrum described, with the particular features of being associated with progressive chronic otitis and a picture of multiple malformations. Diagnosis of the abnormality of the course and its topographical limits, using tomography and angiography, led to a successful antroatticotomy. On the basis of a review of the literature, the authors describe the main criteria of the clinical and radiological diagnosis and present the current pathogenic theories of the mechanism of this congenital abnormality.
