Bilateral Pentafurcation of the Common Carotid Arteries: A New Anatomic Variant

2026-04-01

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Purpose</bold> The Common Carotid Artery (CCA) is understood to bifurcate at the level of the upper border of the thyroid cartilage into the internal carotid artery (ICA) and external carotid artery (ECA). Variations on these branching patterns have been reported and several classification systems have been proposed. Pentafurcations at the carotid sinus are very rare, with no p...
