Anatomical variants of the celiac trunk.

AIM OF THE STUDY: Determine the anatomical variants of the celiac trunk and describe it in its modal form using a scanner. PATIENTS: In total, 200 patients were included in this study. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was carried out using a multi-detector scanner (SIEMENS Somatom Emotion Excel Edition, 16 bars). The two-dimensional and three-dimensional reconstructions by volume were made with the OSIRIX software. It was a retrospective study. The study had taken into account the result of the abdominal scanners injected carried out from December 15, 2018 to February 15, 2019 i.e. 14 months (1 year 2 months). RESULTS: A predominance of type I of UFLACKER is 93.50% with a rate of change from normal of 6.50%. A vertebral projection of the origin of the celiac trunk at the level of the T12-L1 intervertebral disc was observed in 52.80%. An existence of collateral branches in 7.5% of cases. Other terminal branches apart from the three classics were found in 8.5% of the cases. CONCLUSION: These variants deserve special attention in the case of a pre-therapeutic vascular assessment for the surgical or interventional management of tumors and trauma of the supra-meso-colic viscera or even for organ transplantation.

Multiple variations of collateral branches of the abdominal aorta associated with pyelic duplication: A case report.

PURPOSE: We describe a rare case of anatomical variation of the collaterals of the abdominal aorta associated with a duplication of the pyelic. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A 51-year-old patient in whom an abdominal CT scan was performed as part of the exploration of a cystic left renal mass objectified on ultrasound. RESULTS: A celiomesenteric trunk with two left renal arteries and a duplication of the left pyelon were found. CONCLUSION: The reported case is of interest in the rare association of these anatomical variants.
