Anatomical variations of the origin and the trajectory of BCT are of vital clinical significance since they constitute major risk-factors of hemorrhage when performing tracheotomy, surgeries at the anatomic area of the neck as in the presented case.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 64-year-old Caucasian female proceeded to our institution with signs and symptoms of PHPT. Imaging studies performed identified a large mass localized posterior to the right thyroid lobe. During the operation, surgeons incidentally detected anterior to the trachea aberrant trajectory of the BCT. The operation was uneventful. A meticulous review of the literature was conducted as well.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Anatomical anomalies of the origin and the trajectory of BCT are vaguely described in the literature.
