AbstractThe thoracic duct is a lymph vessel extending from the abdomen to the base of the neck where it drains to one of the large veins in the region. Many cases are described in the scientific literature, regarding anatomical variations of the thoracic duct, from its origin, path, until its end, and the vast majority intended to relate variations in the last part of the duct. The reports related to variations of its path are very scarce. In a male cadaver dissection in the anatomy laboratory of the Faculdade de Ciências Médicas of Minas Gerais (FCMMG), an anatomical variation of the position of the thoracic duct was found. The thoracic duct was presented to the left of the aorta and spine, from its entry in the aortic hiatus of the diaphragm and chest throughout its length. There were also anatomical variations of interest in the venous circulatory system, such as the absence of the veins: hemiazygos and accessory hemiazygos, and the different location of the azygos vein, which was located to the left of the aorta. These variations have no relation to each other. The study of this variation is important because the knowledge of variations in the thoracic duct path allows lower rates of trauma and iatrogenic lesions in thoracic surgery, with possible serious complications, such as a chylothorax.

Foetal-type posterior circle of Willis is a common anatomical variation with a variable degree of vessel asymmetry. In patients with this abnormality, carotid endarterectomy (CEA) may create cerebral hypo-perfusion intraoperatively, and this may be underestimated under general anaesthesia. There is currently no evidence that anatomical variations in the circle of Willis represent an independent risk factor for stroke. Moreover, there is a paucity of data on treating patients with such anatomical variations and co-existing ICA stenosis. We present a case of CEA under local anaesthesia (LA) in a 52-year-old female patient with symptomatic stenosis of the right ICA and coexistent foetal-type posterior circle of Willis. There were no post-operative complications and she was discharged free from symptoms. She was seen again 3 months later and was free from complications. This case higlights that LA should be strongly considered to enable better intra-operative neurological monitoring in the event of foetal-type posterior circle of Willis.
