摘要

Variations in the origin of the superior laryngeal artery hold significant clinical relevance in head and neck surgery. The current dissection report presents a rare common origin of the superior laryngeal artery and the lingual artery (in the form of a trunk) from the external carotid artery in coexistence with a superior thyroid artery variant origin from the common carotid artery (level of bifurcation). While such variants are uncommon, they highlight the necessity for precisely understanding their exact topography and morphological anatomy to prevent intraoperative complications.
