ABSTRACT
Congenital vascular variants involving the temporal bones are rare. Awareness of these variants is important as they may mimic glomus tumors or complicate middle ear surgery. We present a case of a persistent stapedial artery associated with an aberrant carotid artery in the left temporal bone, which is highlighted in computed tomography imaging findings. We further discuss a possible relationship between hypoplasia of the A1 segment of the anterior cerebral artery and this congenital variant.
