The blood supply of the thyroid gland has been the subject of numerous original studies, case reports and meta-analyses. The number of surgical procedures carried out on the thyroid gland has significantly increased over the last few decades. The cadaveric report discusses the case of a thyroidea ima artery (TIA) which originated from the brachiocephalic artery before its terminal subdivision, giving off numerous branches to the infrahyoid muscles, trachea, and thyroid gland. Based on the current literature, we discuss the prevalence of TIA, its embryology, and possible clinical aspects of this variation, with special attention paid to the postoperative complications.
甲状腺的血液供应一直是众多原创研究、病例报告和荟萃分析的主题。在过去几十年中，甲状腺手术的数量显著增加。这具尸体报告讨论了一例甲状腺下动脉（TIA）起源于头臂动脉终末分支之前的病例，该动脉向舌骨下肌、气管和甲状腺发出许多分支。基于当前文献，我们讨论了TIA的发生率、胚胎学以及这种变异可能的临床情况，并特别关注术后并发症。
