“…Adachi (1928) and others in man, and Suzuki (1982) and Tanuma et al (1982) in the Japanese monkey have described the lack of the common carotid artery, respectively. However, both the internal and external carotid arteries in these reported cases arose directly from the aortic arch, the brachiocephalic trunk or the left subclavian artery.…”

Summary: In three individuals (#1, #2, and #3) among 906 adult rabbits, in which vascular casts and dissection specimens of the whole vascular system prepared by acryl plastic injection were examined, the left common carotid artery was found to be defective.The aortic arch in each of these three cases was located at a normal height. The branches of the arch in usual cases in the rabbit were the brachiocephalic trunk and the left subclavian artery. This trunk trifurcated into the left and right common carotid arteries and the right subclavian artery, as seen in Type B of man (Adachi 1928). However, the left common carotid was not observed in each of the examples reported here. In the third example (#3), which was a dissection specimen, a remnant consisting of a connective tissue cord, instead of the left common carotid, was found. The right common carotid and right external carotid arteries were thicker than those observed in usual cases without any variations in their course and ramifications. The lingual artery in each of the three examples was rather thick and anastomosed strongly via a thick, hyoid branch with its opposite fellow. The left common carotid appeared as a fine vessel passing caudally from the bifurcation of the common carotid artery and became a fine cord of connective tissue which joined the brachiocephalic trunk. The bilateral lingual arteries were thick and anastomosed with each other. The hyoid branch of the lingual artery of the rabbit was always thick Through this anastomosis, the blood supply to the left half of the head was performed by ramifications of the right external carotid. It can thus be said that, prior to closure of the left common carotid, the above-mentioned anastomosis would have become much stronger.

“…Aplasia of the Le CCA. It was noted that the separated ECA in the monkey is formed by the sequent ventral aortic root of the cranial part from the fourth PAA on the le side, while the le ICA is formed by the sequent dorsal aortic root of the cranial part from the le fourth PAA; consequently, the le CCA is not formed [32]. Hovewer, it was noted, too, that the absence of the le CCA in a human is a consequence of the persistence of the le DC with an involution of the le third PAA ( Figure 1); the le ICA would thus originate from the le fourth PAA proximal to the origin of the le SA [1].…”

“…Summarizing these data we have recorded 87 published and/or cited cases of the CCA aplasia in the last 233 years (1784-2017). This number was increased by four when we took into account the following cases: Nizankowski et al [94], as cited [32] have only reported the independent aortic origin of the left ECA and ICA as the type XIII without any additional data; Kunishio et al [53,95] reported the same case twice; Kobayashi et al [96] described the bilateral absence of the CCA and ICA, but they did not either mention the status of the ECAs; and Uchino et al [46] labeled the separated right ICA and ECA origin from "the BT" and not from the right CCA, although the right SA had the independent origin from the NAA.…”

In an attempt to describe the morphofunctional consequences of uni- and bilateral aplasia of the common carotid artery (CCA), which is usually a vascular source of the external carotid (ECA) and internal carotid (ICA) arteries, we investigated online databases of anatomical and clinical papers published from the 18th century to the present day. We found 87 recorded cases of uni- and bilateral CCA aplasia in subjects from the first hours to the eighth decade of life, which had been discovered in 14 (known) countries. Four crucial parameters were described: the embryology of the carotid arteries, morphophysiology of the carotid arteries, CCA aplasia, and unilateral versus bilateral CCA aplasia, including history, general data, diagnosing, vascular sources, caliber, course of the separated ECA and ICA, associated vascular variants, and pathological disorders. To complete the knowledge of the morphofunctional consequences of the absence of some artery of the carotid system, and risking the possibility of repeating some words, as “carotid artery”, or “carotid aplasia” and the headings from our previous article about bilateral ICA absence, this review is the first in the literature that recorded all cases of the CCA aplasia published and/or cited for the past 233 years. Main characteristic of the CCA absence is its association with 21 different diseases, among which the aneurysms were in 13.69% of cases, and 17.80% of cases were without pathology.
