TY - JOUR AU - Ngo Nyeki, Adèle-Rose AU - Peloni, Giuseppe AU - Karenovics, Wolfram AU - Triponez, Frédéric AU - Sadowski, Samira Mercedes PY - 2016 TI - Aberrant origin of the inferior thyroid artery from the common carotid artery: a rare anatomical variation JF - Gland Surgery; Vol 5, No 6 (December 28, 2016): Gland Surgery (New Techniques and Technologies for the Treatment of Surgical Endocrine Diseases Part II) Y2 - 2016 KW - N2 - We describe the case of a rare anatomical variant of the inferior thyroid artery (ITA) taking its origin directly from the common carotid artery (CCA) instead of the thyrocervical trunk (TCT). This anatomical feature exposes to risks of peroperative bleeding and nerve injuries when it is unrecognized by the surgeons. Knowledge of its existence may be helpful to reduce risks for the patient. UR - https://gs.amegroups.org/article/view/12885
