A 22-year-old man had cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and his angiogram incidentally revealed an absent left common carotid artery with bovine origin of the left external carotid artery. There was also an associated low bifurcation of the right common carotid artery and basilar artery fenestration. The absence of a common carotid artery is a very rare angiographic finding, and an association with a bovine origin of the left external carotid artery has not been reported previously in the literature. Here we provide a description of the case along with a review of the literature and embryology.

ABSTRACTVariations in the position of the bifurcation of the common carotid artery and the origin or branching pattern of the external carotid artery are well known and documented. Here, we report the trifurcation of the right common carotid artery in a male cadaver aged about 55 years. The right common carotid artery was found to divide into the external and internal carotids and the occipital artery. High division of bilateral common carotid arteries and a lateral position of the right external carotid artery at its origin were also observed in the same cadaver. There were two ascending pharyngeal arteries on the right side - one from the occipital artery and another from the internal carotid artery. The intraarterial approach is one of the most important routes for the administration of anticancer drugs for head and neck cancers. A profound knowledge of the anatomical characteristics and variations of the carotid artery such as its branching pattern and its position is essential to avoid complications with catheter insertion.

Angiographic Findings

We present a case of common carotid artery agenesis which is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. Less than 35 cases have been reported. These anomalies are typically asymptomatic and usually discovered as an incidental finding. Color Doppler ultrasonography is an effective and sensitive method for detecting absence of common carotid artery. But it is insufficient to identify the anomaly as a whole. Magnetic resonance angiography is a complementary technique to describe the origin of the external carotid artery and internal carotid artery.

Carotidynia or Transient Perivascular Inflammation of the Carotid Artery (TIPIC) syndrome is a rare cause of atypical neck pain. Exact aetiopathogenesis of this clinical entity is poorly understood. A 43-year-old female presented with progressively increasing right side neck pain of 3 days duration associated with focal tenderness over the right carotid pulse corresponding to the level of upper border of thyroid cartilage. Her inflammatory markers were not elevated. An ultrasound scan revealed increased echogenicity surrounding the distal common carotid artery, obliteration of the perivascular tissue planes with preserved doppler flow pattern. MRI showed soft tissue thickening around the distal common carotid artery, carotid bulb and proximal external carotid artery on right side of the neck corresponding to sonographic findings with gadolinium enhancement. A diagnosis of TIPIC syndrome was made and she was started on celecoxib. Pain completely subsided within 2 weeks. In conclusion, TIPIC syndrome is a rare differential diagnosis of neck pain. It is caused by a transient perivascular inflammation of the carotid artery. A high degree of suspicion is necessary for the diagnosis. Imaging is the gold standard investigation for the diagnosis of TIPIC syndrome. It is a self-limiting pathology and often responds rapidly to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Management of the symptomatic multiple stenosis of supra-aortic vessels (MSSVs) in a “bovine” aortic arch (BAA) configuration is infrequently reported. The optimal treatment choice remains debatable. A successful hybrid treatment for a proximal critical stenosis of the innominate and left common carotid artery was performed in a high-risk patient with a tandem symptomatic lesion in the right carotid bifurcation and a concentric vulnerable plaque in the bovine trunk. This case supports the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a combined carotid bifurcation endarterectomy and retrograde kissing stenting of common carotid arteries with cerebral protection after evaluation of radiological, anatomical, and clinical parameters.
