@1speechpick Yeah it is rare and I am not surprised he has not seen it before that does not mean, it does not exist as there are a number of documented cases where it has been causing Carotid compression/irritation/dissection and sometimes stroke. I have posted the internet image below on the thread I mentioned in my previous posts. These are Axial & Coronal images showing the Hyoid bone in between the bifurcation of the Carotid artery. The red arrow is pointing to the Hyoid Greater Cornu (horn). A & C are the axial images and B is coronal images in case you might want to check it in your head/neck CT. This is significant because the Hyoid Bone moves up/down with each swallowing (see the video below) also might slightly move when you turn your head along with Carotid artery which also moves with the neck a bit. > [@Imput on my 3D pictures?](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/imput-on-my-3d-pictures/10587/3): > > Finally, I need you to post more images to confirm this issue. Can you post Coronal and Axial images of the neck. Similar to the ones posted below. I found these ones in the internet and you can see the horn of the Hyoid bone in the middle of Carotid Bifurcation. > > ![Sample Carotid entrapment](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/ben_eagle/original/2X/2/28140a7236cbf0fe32b483b62516a05afb5cb021.jpeg) _ **You can watch this video to see how the Hyoid bone moves with swallowing. Specially the last minutes of the youtube video with black and white imaging.** _ [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/SBbNxM7g2vg/maxresdefault.jpg "Anatomy & Physiology of Swallowing -- MBSImP Animations") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBbNxM7g2vg) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/could-this-be-vascular-compression/11387)._
