  • Title: Rare case of left colic flexure is supplied by a branch from splenic artery--a case report.
    Author: Liu ST.
    Journal: Kaohsiung J Med Sci; 2002 Apr; 18(4):205-7. PubMed ID: 12164014.
    Abstract:
    A variation of a branch of the splenic artery was reported in a Taiwanese male cadaver during dissection in 1999. This artery arose from the splenic artery and ran inferiolaterally to the area of the left colic flexure. Since left colic flexure is a segment of embryonic hindgut and the splenic artery typically supplies the foregut, the condition in which an artery of foregut crosses midgut to supply an area of the hindgut becomes interesting.
