Abstract
The brachiocephalic artery divides into the right common carotid and subclavian arteries behind the sternoclavicular joint. Surgical and minimally invasive procedures of the neck demand an excellent knowledge of the brachiocephalic artery anatomy and its variations. A 70-year-old female was referred to our department for evaluation of a pulsatile neck mass. Computed tomography angiography revealed it to be a high brachiocephalic artery. The findings were documented and the patient counselled. Ignorance of these variations may lead to catastrophic consequences during interventional procedures. Rarity of the presentation led us to report it. This will serve to enhance the clinician’s knowledge.
