CT angiographic diagnosis of hepatosplenomesenteric trunk – a rare variation

Rudresh HIREMATH, Aishwarya KC

Abstract

We report an incidental finding of a rare anatomical variation of foregut and midgut arteries, hepatosplenomesenteric trunk on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) abdominal angiography in a78-year-old male patient. MDCT is a robust and accurate diagnostic modality for the diagnosis and analysis of pathologies and anatomical variations of vessels. Proper understanding of anatomical variations of celiac trunk and superior mesenteric arteries is of prime importance prior to surgical or interventional procedures.
