“…It may arise in the form a single stem as linguo-facial trunk [3,4] or thyrolinguofacial trunk [5]. In absence of external carotid artery, facial artery may arise from internal carotid artery [3] or from the common carotid artery [6].…”

Facial artery plays a key role in blood supply of the face. Facial artery one of the anterior branches of the external carotid artery originates within the carotid triangle. Variation in the origin of the facial artery was observed on two sides out of 60 sides in 30 cadavers. Facial artery was observed originating at the level just below the maxillary artery within the parotid gland. Facial artery may originate as linguo-facial trunk or thyro-linguo-facial trunk. Other developmental variations have also been described in the literature like, agenesis of facial artery, enlarged facial artery, hypoplastic facial artery. Variability in situation may complicate the surgery. Therefore maxillofacial surgeon, plastic surgeons and head & neck surgeon should be aware of such variation.

“…Only 11 cases have been reported in the English language literature. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] This anomaly is also called "unilateral" 2 or "congenital absence of the ECA." 6 We believe that this is the first report of this anomaly studied with MRA.…”

“…The latter gave rise to the second part of the internal carotid artery, whereas the ventral aorta between the third and fourth arches becomes the stem of the common carotid artery 27 . The movement of the heart downward towards the thorax dragging the carotid arteries could be more or less extensive justifying the different level of division 30 . The asymmetry, right-left, of the blood flow justify differences of caliber observed among the carotid arteries.…”

The aim was to determine the variations in the level of origin of carotid bifurcation and diameters of the common, internal, and external carotid arteries which is clinically important for several interventional procedures. Therefore, 165 human embalmed corpses were dissected. The data collected were analyzed using the Chi square-test and the Pearson correlation test. The results of previous studies have been reviewed. In relation to the level of the carotid bifurcation, taking as a reference point the hyoid bone, the values ranged from 4 cm below the hyoid body to 2.5 cm above the body of the hyoid, being the average height—0.33 cm, with a standard deviation of 1.19 cm. The right carotid bifurcation was established at a higher level (x = − 0.19 cm.) than the left one (x = − 0.48 cm.) (p = 0.046). On the contrary, no significant gender differences could be observed. The arterial calibres of the common and internal carotid arteries were higher in male than female. In the internal carotid artery (X = 0.76 cm.), the left was greater than the right (X = 0.72 cm.) (P = 0.047). However, no differences in the distribution of the calibre of the external carotid artery were found neither by side nor gender. Variations in the level of bifurcation and calibres of carotid arteries are relevant for interventional radiology procedures and head and neck surgeries. Knowledge of these anatomical references might help clinicians in the interpretation of the carotid system.
