A 62-year-old woman visited our hospital complaining of abnormal sensation in the pharynx. Physical examination revealed a pulsating mass on the right side of the posterior wall of the mesopharynx. CT and angiography confirmed that the internal carotid artery had an abnormal course and was compressing the pharyngeal wall.The clinical importance and etiology of tortuosity of the internal carotid artery are discussed.
