  • Title: Absence of the celiac trunk: case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Yi SQ, Terayama H, Naito M, Hirai S, Alimujang S, Yi N, Tanaka S, Itoh M.
    Journal: Clin Anat; 2008 May; 21(4):283-6. PubMed ID: 18428985.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a rare variation of the absence of the celiac trunk in a Japanese cadaver, with the left gastric, splenic, common hepatic, and superior mesenteric arteries arising independently from the abdominal aorta in the routine dissection of a 95-year-old Japanese male cadaver. The incidence and developmental and clinical significance of this variation is discussed with a detailed review of the literature. Knowledge of such case has important clinical significance in an abdominal operation or invasive arterial procedure, that is, Appleby procedure and liver transplantation, laparoscopic surgery, and radiological procedures in the upper abdomen.
