RESUMO
We present a clinical-surgical case of a 72-year-old woman referred from another Hospital due to presentation of otorrhagia following myringotomy. We later determined by means of imaging studies that it was a case of an aberrant internal carotid artery. All masses in the middle ear, especially pulsing masses, must be studied by imaging methods such as computerized tomography and, preferably, magnetic resonance angiography.

Los autores presentan un caso clínico-quirúrgico de una mujer de 72 años de edad, remitida desde otro centro hospitalario por una otorragia grave tras una miringotomía. Mediante estudios de imagen se determinó que se trataba de un caso de arteria carótida aberrante de oído derecho. Toda masa en oído medio, especialmente las que son pulsátiles, deben ser estudiadas mediante pruebas de imagen como tomografía computarizada y, preferentemente, angiografía por resonancia magnética
