  • Title: Celiacomesenteric trunk: a short report.
    Author: Bhatnagar S, Rajesh S, Jain VK, Patidar Y, Mukund A, Arora A.
    Journal: Surg Radiol Anat; 2013 Dec; 35(10):979-81. PubMed ID: 23620090.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe the case of a 44-year-old male with chronic liver disease in whom celiacomesenteric trunk (CMT) was incidentally detected on routine multidetector row computed tomography of abdomen. The CMT (measuring approximately in diameter 12.3 mm) divided into celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) (measuring approximately 7.5 and 7.2 mm, respectively). The celiac trunk further divided into common hepatic, left gastric, and right inferior phrenic and splenic arteries. The common hepatic artery gave off gastroduodenal arteries before continuing as hepatic artery proper. The SMA was seen running down, deep to the neck of the pancreas to supply the midgut. The incidence and clinical implications of this vascular variation are discussed with a review of the relevant literature.
