Anomalous branch of the left common carotid artery : Case report

A previously unreported anomalous branch of the left common carotid artery (LCCA) was observed during dissection at the Zagreb Medical School. The anomalous branch arose from the anterior surface of the LCCA approximately 2 cm superior to the aortic arch, and subsequently bifurcated into a right and left branch. We describe its anatomic features. Clinical implications are also discussed.
