ABSTRACT
Abstract Anatomical variations of the celiac trunk and its branches are particularly important from a surgical perspective due to their relationships with surrounding structures. We report here a particularly rare variant involving absence of the celiac trunk in association with trifurcation of the common hepatic artery. These variations were found in an adult male cadaver. We perform a review of the literature and discuss the clinical and embryological significance of these variations. Recognition of celiac trunk and hepatic artery variations is of utmost importance to surgeons and radiologists because multiple variations can lead to undue complications.
RESUMO
Resumo As variações anatômicas do tronco celíaco e seus ramos são particularmente importantes do ponto de vista cirúrgico devido a sua relação com as estruturas adjacentes. Nós descrevemos aqui uma variante particularmente rara envolvendo ausência do tronco celíaco associada a trifurcação da artéria hepática comum. Essas variações foram observadas no cadáver de um adulto do sexo masculino. Neste artigo revisamos a literatura e discutimos a significância clínica e embriológica dessas variações. O reconhecimento das variações do tronco celíaco e da artéria hepática é extremamente importante para cirurgiões e radiologistas uma vez que variações múltiplas podem levar a complicações inesperadas.
