Summary: A rare anomaly, in which the left common carotid directly gave rise to the superior thyroid, the lingual, the facial and the ascending pharyngeal arteries and divided into the external and internal carotid arteries at a high level, was found in a 52-year-old Japanese male among cadavers for student dissection. The occipital artery in this case arose from the internal carotid. A similar case has been reported previously by Kubota (1950).
