Carotid artery is the most important artery that carries the major part of the blood supply to the head and neck. The branching of the common carotid artery usually occurs at the upper edge of the thyroid cartilage. The placement of carotid sinus has also increased its importance in this area. Considering the clinical importance of knowledge about carotid artery variations, this case is reporte...
متن کاملTrifurcation of the right common carotid artery

متن کاملAnatomical variations of the common carotid artery bifurcation.
BACKGROUND The correlation of the common carotid artery (CCA) bifurcation and its surrounding structures is poorly described. The aim of this study was to describe the anatomy of the CCA bifurcation relative to its surrounding structures. METHOD We dissected a total of 67 carotid specimens from 36 embalmed cadavers. CCA bifurcation occurred at the superior border of thyroid cartilage in 39% a...
متن کاملBilateral Lower Cervical Bifurcation of the Common Carotid Artery
Lower cervical bifurcation of cervical common carotid artery (CCA) is a very rarely encountered anatomic variation. Knowing the normal vascular anatomy and also its anomalies is important in preventing the vascular complications. Ill-defined vascular anomalies may lead to massive hemorrhage and eventually death during head and neck surgery. Imaging of the neck by magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI...
