RESUMO
PURPOSE: Direct connection between the celiac trunk (CT) and inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) is very rare, knowledge of this anomaly is of great importance to surgeons and anatomists. INTRODUCTION: Splanchnic arteries arise from the abdominal aorta (AA). Unusual development of these arteries can lead to considerable variations. Historically there were a lot of classification of the variation in the CT and IMA, none of the classifications describes a direct connection from IMA to CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We report a rare case in which the connection between the CT and AA was lost and replaced by a direct anastomosis with IMA. RESULTS: 60 year old male presented to the hospital to undergo a computed tomography scan. Which showed that there was no CT arising from the AA, but there was a large anastomosis arises from the IMA and ended with a short axis and Left gastric artery (LGA), Splenic artery (SA), Common hepatic artery (CHA) arise from this axis, these arteries continued to the stomach and spleen and liver normally. The anastomosis provides the total supply to the CT. The CT branches are normal. CONCLUSION: Knowledge of the arterial anomalies provides an important help in clinical surgical implications especially in organs transplant.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the scrotum are rare lesions, usually diagnosed incidentally during the evaluation of scrotal masses or infertility. It could be presented with acute bleeding or acute pain. We are presenting a case of painless bilateral infiltrated scrotal mass (more advanced in the left side) developed dramatically over a year, no other symptoms existed. The diagnosis was made using duplex ultrasound (DUS), computed tomography arteriography (CTA), and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Three sessions of angioembolization were performed and followed by surgical resection of the left side of the scrotum.
RESUMO
Cystic echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus. The liver and lungs are the most commonly infected organs. We present the first-of-a-kind case of laparoscopic excision of 8 hydatid cysts, of which seven were in the liver and one was in the kidney of a 40-year-old patient. The patient presented with fatigue and fever and a one-year history of vague abdominal pain. Albendazole was administered before surgical intervention. The postoperative follow-up period was notable for a renal fistula. The patient subsequently underwent CT-guided percutaneous removal of a central hepatic hydatid cyst that was inaccessible using laparoscopic techniques. Cystic echinococcosis is endemic in the Mediterranean region. The growing number of immigrants and refugees from endemic areas could increase the prevalence of the disease in nonendemic countries. Therefore, it is important for physicians worldwide to be familiar with the diagnostic modalities and possible treatment options for hydatid disease.
