Three cases had dysphagia, two cases had foreign body sensation in the throat, one case had increased tinnitus, and one case had complaints of aspiration which was not previously reported in the literature and chocking sensation. One patient was asymptomatic. Five cases had kink form of aberrant parapharyngeal internal carotid artery, one case had tortuosity and one case had both tortuosity and kink form. In one case, internal carotid artery was in form of 90 degrees angle in the right side and S-shaped in the left side, which was not described in the classification.
