[Vagal paraganglioma associated with a rare malformation of the aortic arch. Apropos of a case and review of the literature].
The authors report about a very peculiar case of cervical paraganglioma which had two specific features. This is a familial case with 2 sisters presenting with bilateral paragangliomas. In addition, this patient's aortic trunk is very peculiar, with a retroesophageal right subclavian artery and, above all, a divided intrathoracic right common carotid artery, producing an ascending pharyngeal supply for the right paraganglioma, which can be embolized without any risks of reflux.
