Abstract (2. Language): 
Introduction: The vascular variations in the human body are very common. In the region of the neck, variations of The Carotid Arteries Position, Branches may be seen. Study Design: In Present study, we report a rare Positional Variation of External carotid [ECA] artery in relation with the internal carotid artery [ICA]. The External carotid artery was seen Antero lateral to the internal carotid artery at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery [CCA]. The clinical significance, embryological reasons of the variation is discussed. Such variations must be given utmost importance before planning for any neck surgeries to avoid post operative complications. Results: This can explain embryologically since the external carotid arises mainly from the ventral aorta and internal carotid arises mainly from the dorsal aorta . Conclusion: Variant Antero lateral position of External carotid artery may be of particular interest to surgeons and anatomists. Such variations must be given utmost importance before planning for any neck surgeries to avoid post operative complications
