Published: June 2024

A 73-year-old man underwent computed tomography (CT) angiography assessment of the head and neck vasculature. An incidental note of the thyroidea ima artery arising from the aortic arch was made. Presence of thyroidea ima artery may have clinical importance prior to neck surgeries and minimally invasive interventions.

Introduction: Thyroidea ima artery is a variant arterial branch of arch of aorta supplying the thyroid gland. Understanding the anatomic variances and correctly identifying the thyroidea ima artery is crucial to preventing serious complications both before and after neck surgery. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of thyroidea ima artery in cadavers of a medical college in Nepal.

Article Synopsis
  • Understanding neurovascular variants is essential for ensuring safe procedures in endovascular and neurosurgery, as these variations can impact treatment outcomes.
  • The study reviewed uncommon neurovascular variants by analyzing a maintained neurovascular database and provided pictorial evidence along with insights on their embryology, clinical significance, and potential complications.
  • The findings include a variety of anatomical anomalies both in the brain and outside of it, which can influence diagnosis and interventions; thus, raising awareness among healthcare professionals is critical for patient safety.

The thyroidea ima artery (TIA) is a highly variable arterial deviation of the blood supply to the thyroid gland with critical implications for surgical neck procedures such as tracheostomy. Though relatively common in the population at large (~ 4%), most TIA variations are related to the origin of the artery and whether it emerges from the common sites of the brachiocephalic trunk, aortic arch, and right common carotid artery, or another more unique vessel-as opposed to its dispersion pattern. TIA variants generally supply the thyroid gland, occasionally co-occurring with absent thyroid arteries.
