Aberrant catotid art: You most likely have a aberrant carotid artery in the posterior pharynx. It is nothing to worry about if you are being intubated as long as the anesthesiologist is aware of it. You should not get a tonsillectomy unless it is absolutely necessary and done by a very experienced ENT. Good luck! You will be fine.
