Two rare simultaneous arterial variants, the vertebral artery and inferior thyroid artery, originated from the aortic arch. This anatomical variation was incidentally discovered during a catheterization procedure and confirmed with Doppler ultrasound.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular anatomy
  • Embryology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Anatomical literature lacks comprehensive radiological documentation for many vertebral and inferior thyroid artery variants.
  • Vascular anomalies require accurate description for clinical and surgical relevance.

Observation:

  • Two simultaneous arterial variants were incidentally identified during a left vertebral artery catheterization for arteriovenous malformation.
  • The vertebral artery and inferior thyroid artery originated from a common trunk directly from the aortic arch.

Findings:

  • The ipsilateral cervical arteries originated from the subclavian artery, with no thyroid branch observed.
  • Doppler ultrasound confirmed these vascular anomalies.
  • An embryological analysis suggests these variants result from the lack of involution of specific arterial segments.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of recognizing rare arterial variants during vascular interventions.
  • Multidetector computed tomography (CT) is valuable for detecting and studying such vascular anomalies.
  • Further research into the embryological origins of vascular variants can improve diagnostic accuracy.
