Purpose: We present a case of an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) with extremely rare vascular anomalies.
Case Report: A 69-year-old woman was suspected to have right internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. Computed tomography angiography demonstrated an ARSA and hypoplasia of the right ICA.

We report the first case of a transtympanic iatrogenic internal carotid artery (ICA) pseudoaneurysm diagnosed in a 4-year-old child following a myringotomy. An endovascular treatment with a covered-stent was decided; spontaneous thrombosis was found during the therapeutic arteriography, and the procedure was aborted. Otoscopy and computed tomography (CT) scan monitoring showed a prolonged thrombosis and the disappearance of the pseudoaneurysm 18months after the diagnostic arteriography.

Emissary veins are valveless veins which pass through the cranial apertures and connect the dural venous sinuses and the extracranial veins. The clinical importance of emissary veins is increasingly being appreciated. Some emissary veins like the petrosquamosal sinus and mastoid emissary vein may cause significant bleeding during middle ear and skull base surgeries.

Variations in the course of the subarcuate artery (SAA) and of its related funnel are infrequent and asymptomatic. We present a case of a 15-year-old girl with a preverbal severe bilateral hearing loss and a subarcuate canal with an unusual course and atypical correlation with the adjacent anatomical structures, particularly with the lateral semicircular canal and the facial nerve. The variation proposed in this case, not previously reported in the literature consulted, can have important implications during middle ear surgical procedures, particularly for the retro-facial tympanoplasty approach: in fact otologic surgeons should consider any kind of variation of the SAA in surgical planning to avoid unexpected hemorrhages.

Gorlin-Goltz syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder with variable penetration characterized primarily by five major findings: multiple basal cell carcinomas presenting at a young age, pits on the palms and soles, skeletal abnormalities, jaw cysts, and ectopic calcification of the falx cerebri and other structures. When the basal cell carcinomas are located in the head and neck there is a high risk of invasion of deep structures if early and radical treatment is not performed. The authors present a 59-year-old man affected by basal cell carcinoma in the context of Gorlin-Goltz syndrome.
