| Core Tip |
This letter highlights the clinical importance of recognizing carotid–hyoid spatial variants identified by Karangeli et al. Their computed tomography angiography-based mapping demonstrates that non-null configurations - especially Types VIII and XI - are more common than previously reported and may predispose patients to dynamic carotid compression, unexplained cerebrovascular symptoms, or intraoperative vascular injury. Incorporating carotid-hyoid assessment into routine imaging can improve diagnostic accuracy and enhance surgical safety. |
