Abstract
Congenital variations of extracranial arteries include fenestration and duplication, variations in the caliber (reduction of sizes, hypoplasia, and widening, dilation). Apart of that, quite a rare anomaly is aplasia. Abnormal course of arteries includes non-typical outcome from magistral trunks and abnormal locations.
