Özet
The level of the carotis externa origin and the different origins of the superior thyroid artery, lingual artery and facial artery in the neck region were described on 21 cadavers to gain more knowledge of the anatomy for microvascular surgery. Our results briefly are as follows: The non-common-trunk type of the external carotid artery (in which each branch arises separately from the external carotid artery) was found in 90.47 percent of cases, the truncus linguo-facialis type was found in 9.52 percent. The common carotid artery biforcated to internal and external carotid artery at the level of superior border of the thyroid cartilage in all cases.
