During the routine dissection in the Department of Anatomy of Rural Medical College, Loni, we found a rare variation in branching pattern of common carotid artery (CCA) and external carotid artery (ECA) bilaterally. The knowledge of possible anatomical variations of CCA and ECA are especially important in surgery of head, neck and face; and also for radiologist to understand and interpret cerebral angiography. The case is reported here and the clinical significance of this variation is emphasized.
