Abstract

Anomalous Blood vessels are always interesting from a scientific point of view since they often shed light on obscure problems of phylogeny and ontogeny. The unusual embryological development of the ventral splanchnic arteries can lead to considerable variations in the branching pattern of coeliac trunk.

To note down the variation in study.

During routine Dissection of posterior abdominal wall of 30 Year old male Cadaver for undergraduate students in department of anatomy JJMMC we found this variation.

Short coeliac trunk. Coeliac trunk war giving two branches left gastric artery and spleenic artery whereas common hepatic artery was arising from SMA.

The variation must be carefully understood for anastomosing the proper arteries in liver transplant surgeries, for celiacography in GI bleeding etc.
