Abstract
The anatomy of aortic great vessels is relevant in surgeries of the anterior neck, especially with a tracheostomy, thyroidectomy, or mediastinoscopy. Variations in their anatomy could lead to severe complications if not recognized. An aberrant high-riding innominate artery incidentally encountered during mediastinoscopy is presented.
