ABSTRACT
An abnormal course of carotid artery may surprise surgeons during surgery and result in an transient ischemic attack or other ischemic symptoms. We report an unusual case of kinking in the common carotid artery located below the right thyroid lobe, which was found during a total thyroidectomy in a 74-years old patient. We emphasize in this case how important it is to palpate the neck before surgeries such as tracheostomy, thyroid surgery and so on.
