Cadaveric study of branching pattern of celiac trunk with rare variations
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Celiac Trunk (CT) or celiac artery is the major ventral branch of the abdominal aorta supplying the supracolic compartment of the abdomen. Anatomical variations in the branching pattern of Celiac axis have been reported earlier (1,2,3) and are of great surgical importance. Lot of variations was found in the branching pattern of CT during routine cadaveric dissection in the department of Anatomy, North Delhi Municipal Corporation Medical College and Hindu Rao Hospital, Delhi. Hence, a study was taken up to dissect and examine 10 cadavers available in the department. The CT was studied for accessory branches and their pattern of emergence. Length of each branch was measured and appropriate photographs were taken. In this study trifurcation of celiac trunk is seen in (70%; 7 out of 10 cases), bifurcation in (10%; 1 out of 10 cases), pentafurcation in (10%; 1 out of 10 cases) and heptafurcation also in (10%; 1 out of 10 cases). Tetrafurcating, Hexafurcating and absent celiac trunk was not observed in our study. Rare variations in the CT branching are found in higher proportion than previously reported
