The anomalies included: <italic>arteria</italic><italic> </italic><italic>lusoria</italic>, an aberrant right subclavian artery arising directly from the aortic arch and passing posterior to the esophagus; origin of the right vertebral artery from the right common carotid artery; origin of the left vertebral artery from the aortic arch; high vertebral artery entry points with hypoplasia; and excessive S-shaped tortuosity of the left internal carotid artery. This case is of particular interest due to the exceptional rarity of coexisting vascular anomalies and developmental variants in a single patient, qualifying it as a clinical curiosity. Variations in the origin and course of aortic arch branches may lead to altered cerebral hemodynamics and be associated with cerebrovascular disorders or neurological symptoms. Identifying atypical courses of the brachiocephalic vessels is crucial during preoperative assessment, as anomalous vascular anatomy may result in serious complications during surgical or endovascular interventions.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье представлен уникальный случай комбинирования редких аномалий и вариантов развития брахиоцефальных сосудов у пациентки с жалобами на головные боли, возникающие во время приёма пищи. Среди этих аномалий выделяют: <italic>arteria</italic><italic> </italic><italic>lusoria</italic> — аберрантная правая подключичная артерия, отходящая напрямую от дуги аорты и проходящая позади пищевода; отхождение правой позвоночной артерии от правой общей сонной артерии; отхождение левой позвоночной артерии от дуги аорты; высокое вхождение позвоночных артерий и их гипоплазия; избыточная s-образная извитость внутренней сонной артерии слева. Особый интерес к этому случаю обусловлен тем, что сочетание указанных сосудистых аномалий и вариантов развития у одного пациента встречается очень редко, и такие случаи относятся к казуистике. Вариабельность в происхождении и характере распределения сосудов дуги аорты может привести к изменению церебральной гемодинамики и сопровождаться нарушением мозгового кровообращения, а также являться причинами неврологических заболеваний. Обнаружение атипичного хода брахиоцефальных артерий является важным в предоперационной диагностике пациента, т. к. аномальное расположение сосудов может привести к серьёзным осложнениям во время хирургических и эндоваскулярных вмешательств.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>brachiocephalic vessels</kwd><kwd>vertebral artery</kwd><kwd>arteria lusoria</kwd><kwd>vascular anomalies</kwd><kwd>developmental variant</kwd><kwd>computed tomography</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>брахиоцефальные сосуды</kwd><kwd>позвоночная артерия</kwd><kwd>arteria lusoria</kwd><kwd>аномалии сосудов</kwd><kwd>вариант развития</kwd><kwd>компьютерная томография</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Bae SB, Kang EJ, Choo KS, et al.
