Abstract:
The cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) is classically differentiated from the external carotid artery by an absence of branches. We present a rare case of an anomalous branch originating from the cervical ICA seen during carotid endarterectomy. This article describes the origin of this anatomical variation and its implication for clinicians.
