The transverse cervical artery arises from the thyrocervical trunk and crosses the posterior triangle of the neck. It supplies the trapezius and surrounding muscles and communicates with other cervical arteries to maintain vascularization of the region. Its superficial branch runs over the anterior surface of the trapezius, while the deep branch passes beneath it. Knowledge of its course is important in neck surgeries to avoid inadvertent injury and maintain blood supply to the trapezius and other posterior neck muscles.
