“…9 The exact etiology of ICA aberrations is not fully understood but is likely a combination of embryologic maldevelopments and acquired diseases, such as atherosclerosis or fibromuscular dysplasia. 10 While the association between glomus tumors and OSA is not well-established, the presence of this tumor in the upper airway may contribute to airway narrowing and exacerbation of OSA symptoms. 11 Glomus tumors are typically slow-growing and can remain asymptomatic for an extended period.…”

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is often associated with reduced pharyngeal muscle tone and an anatomically narrowed pharyngeal airspace. We try to describe two cases with OSA that were diagnosed with vascular lesions during DISE: One of them was an aberrant internal carotid artery, and the second one was a glomus tumor. These anatomic anomalies contribute to airspace narrowing in these patients. These two cases describe an exciting presentation of sleep apnea and remind us of the importance of clinically recognizing vascular alterations to avoid damage during routine oropharyngeal procedures.
