Stacey: I have several CCA anomalies over the years.  I believe one of these anomalies is probably the superior thyroid artery; it is typically the first ECA branch.  Andy Bebry, RVT

Does anyone have any literature on CCA branch that may be anomalies?   I have seen at least 3 different cases of an artery in the mid CCA that comes off anteriolateral that courses inferior.    My CV surgeon thought I was nuts last year when I told him about a case until he saw it in surgery.  I have not found any articles about this.

Thanks Stacey
