Figure 4 Type VII (right) and type XII (left).
A: The 3D rendering reveals that the right external carotid artery and internal carotid artery are both located lateral to the greater horn of hyoid bone (type VII), whereas on the left, the external carotid artery is medial, and the internal carotid artery is lateral to the greater horn of hyoid bone (type XII); B: Axial computed tomography confirms the described relationships. ICA: Internal carotid artery; ECA: External carotid artery; GHHB: Greater horn of hyoid bone; HB: Hyoid bone.
