Objective: Internal carotis artery (ICA), begins as three branches of arteria carotis communis, aligned with the upper edge of cartilago thyroidea. Knowing the anatomic details of this area well, will help the surgeons to a great extent in preventing complications during dissection of the neck region. This study was aimed to determine the variations in the course of ICA and its frequency of appearance in Turkish population. Material and Methods: This study was performed on multidedectör computerize tomografi anjiografi (MDCTA) image. In this study 94 patients aged between 31 and 86 (32 females-62 males), (94 right-94 left, total 188 cases) were included. Results: In our study, ICA cervical area was found to exhibit 4 different variation types. Conclusion: We believe that the variation types determined and exhibited in our study will be helpful for surgeons and radiologists in their diagnosis and treatments
