ABSTRACT
This study was to ascertain the pattern of arrangements and distributions of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in a Nigerian population. Seventy-five cadavers certified as Nigerians were obtained from the dissecting room of the Department of Anatomy, University of Calabar after ethical approval from the Institution's Ethics Committee. Their abdomens and their contents were excise to expose the vessels. Based on the pattern of arrangements of the SMA, the cadavers were grouped into three (A, B, and C). Group A had 45 cadavers and this constituted 60 percent which were similar to the commonly documented patterns. Groups B and C had 20 and 10 cadavers respectively constituting 26.7 percent and 13.3 percent pattern of arrangement, some of which have not been documented before. In conclusion these peculiar patterns in this population are to be noted in surgical procedure, since damage to these variant vessels may result in severe haemorrhage that may lead to other complications.
RESUMEN
Este estudio consistió en determinar el patrón de disposición y distribución de la arteria mesentérica superior (AMS) en una población de Nigeria. Setenta y cinco cadáveres certificados como nigerianos se obtuvieron de la sala de disección del Departamento de Anatomía de la Universidad de Calabar, después de la aprobación ética del Comité Ético de la Institución. Su abdomen y sus contenidos fueron disecados para exponer los vasos. Basado en el modelo de disposición de la AMS, los cadáveres fueron agrupados en tres grupos (A, B y C). Grupo A tuvo 45 cadáveres y estos constituyeron el 60 por ciento los cuales fueron similares a los patrones comúnmente documentados. Los Grupos B y C con 20 y 10 cadáveres respectivamente, constituyeron el 26,7 por ciento y 13,3 por ciento del patrón de disposición, algunos de los cuales no se han documentado antes. En conclusión, estos patrones peculiares en esta población han sido observados en procedimientos quirúrgicos, ya que el daño a estas variantes de vasos pueden resultar en hemorragias graves que pueden conducir a otras complicaciones.
