Bilateral higher carotid termination with rare anomalous emergence of ventral branches of the external carotid arteries: A cadaver study.

The common carotid artery bifurcates into two terminal branches-the external and internal carotid arteries. The head, neck, and face regions principally get their blood supply from the external carotid artery and its branches. Some previous articles have mentioned the abnormal pattern of the external carotid artery branching and its variable origin.
