Abstract
Right side and left side of carotid artery bifurcation (CAB) is an anatomically and surgically important landmark in variations of pathological and physiological processes. The CAB is in relations with hyoid bone and cervical vertebrae posteriorly and is highly variable across the literature. However, cadaveric dissection were employed in the majority of studies on right side and left side of CAB in terms of high and low variations according to ethnicity and genetically. The level of CAB was assessed in a cross sectional studies utilize, cadaveric dissection for 1st MBBS in department of Anatomy, which involved in 24 cadavers of both sides of CAB (18 men and 6 women., ages 45‐70 years) were included during the study period. Twenty‐four formalin fixed (10%) embalmed cadavers belongs to Hyderabad‐Karnataka region and North of Konkan division of Maharashtra were dissected in anatomical position of CAB during the period of two years. The variations in both sides of CAB were tabulated and statistically analyzed. The CAB showed variation in right side and left side of carotid bifurcation. The normal bifurcation of the right side carotid artery found in 41.6% (C3/4 vertebrae) of the specimens, while normal bifurcation of the left side carotid artery in 50% (C3/4 vertebrae) of the dissected specimens respectively. The high CAB found in both sides at the level of angle of mandible (C2 and C3), while the lowest CAB was at the level of thyroid cartilage (C4‐C5) in right side of CAB. The right CAB in majority of the cases lower than left CAB. The extent of this higher and lower variation has not been shown before in previous studies. The present study of anatomical variations of CAB will help to alterations in surgical interventions and radiological examination, Transcatheter embolization procedure while dealing with thyroidectomy and carotid aneurysm.
