Kissing carotids
Case Discussion:
Incidental finding of anomalous cavernous segment of internal carotid arteries, in which they lie in the midline; in contact with each other or separated by a few millimeters. This is an unusual form of kissing carotids which are usually in the retropharynx.
This finding may mimic pituitary disease (clinically/ imaging) or complicate trans-sphenoidal surgeries.
Patient also had an incidental basilar invagination
