    Journal: Ann Anat; 2005 Sep; 187(4):387-91. PubMed ID: 16163851.
    Abstract:
    The hepatic, splenic and Left gastric arteries are considered as the "main classic branches" of the coeliac trunk. During the routine dissections in the laboratory of the Anatomy Department in a 62-year-old male cadaver, a rare variation, a coeliacomesenteric trunk was observed. This trunk gave rise to the left gastric, the common hepatic, the splenic, the left gastro-epiploic, the right and left inferior phrenic arteries. The developmental and clinical significance of this anomalous vessel is discussed.
