During routine dissection for the medical undergraduates in the department of anatomy at ESIC Medical College & PGIMSR, Chennai, INDIA, we have observed higher level bifurcation of right common carotid artery in one male cadaver whereas the left common carotid artery bifurcating at normal level. The unilateral and higher level of bifurcation of the common carotid arteries are very rare cases and such rare case knowledge will be useful to the clinicians and surgeons while planning neck surgeries.
