Conclusion

Iatrogenic lesion of internal carotid artery during tonsillectomy, is a rare and exceptional complication with a very challenging treatment. Endovascular approach has given us an excellent result, being less invasive than open surgery controlling the bleeding and restoring carotid flow.
