Unusual branching pattern of celiac trunk associated with supernumerary hepatic arteries and abnormal adrenal venous drainage - case study and review of the literature.

Résumé fourni par la source

Celiac artery (trunk) is one of the three major arteries which arise from abdominal aorta. It's variations not seem to be very uncommon. A routine dissection of a male cadaver at Department of Anatomy Jagiellonian University revealed unusual branching pattern of the celiac trunk with numerous supernumerary hepatic arteries. Additionally unusual venous drainage of the adrenal glands was found. A review of current literature has shown that a changed branching pattern may be important from clinical point of view, with special respect to endovascular procedures, laparoscopic surgery or radiology.
