Abstract

The evidence of thyroid vascular anomalies is is frequent and may manifest itself with an anatomic alteration. The absence of the inferior thyroid artery is reported in 1\% of the cases, while a thyroid artery arising from the common carotid artery has been found in 2\% of examined patients. In the observed case we retain that the rarity is not only due to the contemporary presence of two anomalies, but also to the presence of an anomalous vessel which arises from right carotideal bifurcation and bloody supplies either right lobular or left lobular of thyroid, thus resulting the sole gland's arterial vessel.
