Özet
We report an abnormal origin of a vertebral artery (VA) on the left side of a 72-year-old male cadaver and refer to its clinical importance. In this cadaver, the left VA was originated from a common trunk with the left subclavian artery from the aortic arch. The significance of this arterial variety is crucial for surgery or invasive procedures at the base of the neck or trauma involving cervical structures.
