Abstract
Objective: The assessment of the posterior pharyngeal vasculature in v elocardiofacial syndrome has been traditionally based on endoscopic vi sualization of pulsations or conventional angiography. This case repor t describes the utility of presurgical imaging with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) prior to performing pharyngoplasty. Conclusion: The use of the MRA data presurgically is an effective way to prevent blee ding complications during pharyngoplasty.
