“…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.

“…The knowledge of such arterial variation is useful during intra-arterial chemotherapy for the treatment of tongue cancers, musculomucosal island flap for partial tongue reconstruction, superselective intraarterial chemotherapy for head and neck carcinomas, these variations should be kept in mind [5,8,[12][13][14]. Zumre et al [5] observed thyrolingual trunk in 2.5% and thyrolinguofacial trunk in 2.5% of the cases in human foetuses.…”

Every surgery is planned on the anatomical arrangement of the structures. Any variation in the arterial arrangement may lead to haemorrhagic episodes during intraoperative procedures. In this study, variations in the branching pattern of external carotid artery were noted. In two of the cases, thyrolingual trunk was observed. In the first case, thyrolingual trunk was arising from the common carotid artery, 17 mm below carotid bifurcation and in the second one at the carotid bifurcation. The knowledge of anatomical variation is necessary during intra-arterial chemotherapy and to prevent haemorrhagic accidents during intraoperative procedures.
