Introduction: This study is based on observing the position of bifurcation of CCA, with respect to anteriorly placed structures of neck, in cadavers as well as measurement of c-IMT at carotid bifurcation histologically. Materials & Methods: 60 freshly embalmed cadavers (38 male and 22 female) were used for the present study. Results: High bifurcation level of CCA was observed in 31% cadavers without much gender variation ((Males showing 33% and Females 27%). The c-IMTmean was more in females (0.71 ± 0.03 mm) than males (0.65 ± 0.07mm) bilaterally. The c-IMT increased with higher levels of bifurcation on the left side, the mean measurements being 0.63 ± 0.14 mm & 0.69 ± 0.01mm in male and female cadavers respectively. The maximum c-IMT was observed between 40-60 years in both male and female cadavers bilaterally. Discussion: Our study has depicted the cIMT to be more in females and increasing with the height of carotid artery bifurcation in left side of both genders. Since the maximum cIMT was recorded in age group of 40-60 years, it can be concluded that the maximum risk for atherosclerotic complications lies with this age group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
