Abstract
A 3-year-old child was examined because of otorrhagia, CT scans showed an u nusual vessel, confirmed by angiography, related to a persistent pharyngohy ostapedial artery. This embryonic persistent artery associated with the nor mal internal carotid artery would explain the "duplication" aspect of the i nternal carotid artery.
