Anatomical variation in the origin of superior thyroid artery
نویسنده
چکیده
The Superior Thyroid Artery (STA) is the dominant arterial supply of the thyroid gland, larynx and the neck. Awareness of variations in STA is crucial for invasive operations in the neck region. We reported a case that STA derives from the Common Carotid Artery (CCA). A patient with possible transient ischemic attack had an digital substraction angiography. Angiography revealed superior thyroid artery derived from the common carotid artery in the left.

متن کاملReport of a Variation of the Right Common Carotid Artery
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...
