ABSTRACT
Knowledge of the branching pattern of the abdominal aorta is clinically important for any abdominal surgeon operating on parts of the gut or neighboring structures like the suprarenals, spleen, pancreas, liver, kidneys and ureter. The presence of abnormal inferior phrenic artery associated with aberrant branch from the celiac trunk supplying the pancreas and duodenum is a rare anomaly. In the present case, we observed four branches of the celiac artery i.e. (a) left gastric artery (b) common hepatic artery (c) splenic artery and (d) an aberrant branch, which took a course inferiorly towards the pancreas. The aberrant artery supplied the body of the pancreas and gave a branch which supplied the horizontal part of the duodenum and then entered the transverse mesocolon to supply the hepatic flexure and some portions of the ascending and the transverse colon. The inferior phrenic artery was absent on the left side. Concomitant anomalies of such type are to be kept in mind by the surgeon, while operating cases of carcinoma head of pancreas and performing kidney transplantations.
RESUMEN
El conocimiento del patrón de ramificación de la aorta abdominal es clínicamente importante para cualquier cirujano abdominal que opere en partes del intestino o estructuras vecinas, como glándulas suprarenales, bazo, páncreas, hígado, riñones y uréteres. La presencia anormal de la arteria frénica inferior asociada con una rama aberrante originada del tronco celiaco, supliendo el páncreas y duodeno, es una variación anatómica rara. En el presente caso, se observaron cuatro ramas de la arteria celiaca (a) arteria gástrica izquierda (b) arteria hepática común (c) arteria esplénica y (d) una rama aberrante, que tuvo un curso inferior hacia el páncreas. La arteria aberrante suministraba irrigación al cuerpo del páncreas y daba una rama para la parte horizontal del duodeno para luego entrar en el mesocolon transverso para irrigar la flexura hepática y algunas partes del colon ascendente y transverso. La arteria frénica inferior estaba ausente en el lado izquierdo. Anomalías concomitantes de este tipo deben ser consideradas por el cirujano, en casos de operación de carcinoma de cabeza de páncreas y la realización de trasplante renal.
