An aberrant subarcuate artery (SAA) and its related canal are infrequent and asymptomatic. The presence of this variation may cause untoward hemorrhages, if accidentally nicked. Therefore, it is important for otologists to be aware of this entity, and its relative anatomy, to avoid any unexpected complication. We present a case of a 7-year-old girl who presented with right-sided microtia with membranous atresia.
