A rare combined variation of the coeliac trunk, renal and testicular vasculature / 대한해부학회지

The authors report a rare variation of the coeliac trunk, renal and testicular vasculature in a 27-year-old male cadaver. In the present case, the coeliac trunk and superior mesenteric artery was replaced by a modified coeliacomesenteric trunk formed by hepato-gastric and superior mesenteric arteries. Here the hepato-gastric artery or trunk contributed towards the total hepatic inflow as well as a gastro-duodenal artery. A separate right gastric artery and an additional superior pancreatico-duodenal artery was also found in addition with a retro-aortic left renal vein and a bilateral double renal arterial supply. The aforementioned coeliac trunk variation, to our knowledge, has never been reported before and this variation combined with the renal vasculature requires careful surgical consideration.

A complex variation of the parietal and visceral branches of the abdominal aorta / Una compleja variación de las ramas parietales y viscerales de la parte abdominal de la aorta

Variations in the branches of the abdominal aorta were determined during a routine abdominal region dissection of a 70-year-old male cadaver. Left gastric artery arose as the first root from antero-lateral of aorta. Coeliacomesenteric trunk occurred as a thick root. After 29.9mm, coeliacomesenteric trunk bifurcated as coeliac trunk and superior mesenteric artery. Coeliac trunk bifurcated as splenic artery and common hepatic artery. These multiple variations which change the normal anatomic structure of the abdominal aorta have to be kept in mind by surgeons, radiologists and anatomists.

Fueron encontradas, en un cadáver de sexo masculino de 70 años de edad durante una disección de rutina de la cavidad abdominal, variaciones de las ramas en la parte abdominal de la aorta. La arteria gástrica izquierda se originaba como la la primera rama antero-lateral de la aorta. El tronco celiacomesénterico se originó desde la aorta como una raíz gruesa. Después de 29,9mm, el tronco celiacomesentérico se dividió en el tronco celíaco y la arteria mesentérica superior. El tronco celíaco se dividió en las arterias esplénica y hepática común. Estas variaciones múltiples que cambian la estructura anatómica normal de la parte abdominal de la aorta tienen que ser tomada en consideración por los cirujanos, radiólogos y anatomistas.
