【 摘 要 】

The common carotid arteries are the largest bilateral arteries of the head and neck. The common carotid arteries may bifurcate higher orlower than the usual levels. A higher bifurcation is more common. Tortuous arteries if present may be asymptomatic if it is mild but maylead to ischaemia of the organs if severe. The cause could be genetic, or may be thickening of the arteries. During routine dissection ofan adult male cadaver in the department of Anatomy, BLDEU’s Shri BM Patil Medical college, Vijaypur, we found the bilateral multiplevariations in the carotid arteries regarding the bifurcation level of common carotid arteries, tortuous external and internal carotid arteriesand the number of branches arising from external carotid arteries. The knowledge of such variations of carotid arteries is of greatimportance in radiological examinations especially per cutaneous carotid angiography. It is necessary to understand the anatomy ofthese vessels and its variations to carry out surgeries with minimum complications.
