Tolosa-Hunt syndrome with heterotopic salivary gland tissue and absence of internal carotid artery.
Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS), heterotopic salivary gland and hypoplasia of internal carotid artery (ICA) are all rare entities. We have reported a case of all these three conditions included in a patient. We have postulated that the heterotopic salivary gland tissue might have caused the hypoplasia of ICA and also triggered the THS.
