Bilateral Facio- Lingual Arterial Trunk From External Carotid Artery: A Case Report

The common carotid arteries provide the major source of blood to the head and neck. The right common carotid artery originates from the brachiocephalic trunk in the neck while the left arises in the thorax from the aortic arch. Normally, it gives two terminal branches, external and internal carotid arteries at the level of superior border of thyroid cartilage in carotid triangle. The anatomic understanding of the facial and lingual artery is thus necessary since most of the cosmetic surgeries take place in the Head and Neck region. The present case, thus would provide useful information for clinical applications in different fields related with Head and Neck surgery.
