Variations in the origin of the splenic artery and its clinical implications
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Splenic artery also known as lineal artery is the largest branch of celiac trunk in adults and is the second largest next to common hepatic artery in fetal life. Anatomy, Surgery and Radiology fields are intertwined. If a correct data of native population is available on the vascular anatomy it will be of excellent use for surgeons and radiologists. Aim: The aim of this study the variation in the site of origin of splenic artery in human cadavers. Objective: To study the variation in the site of origin of splenic artery. Materials and Methods: Fifty cadavers embalmed with 10% formalin were utilized in this study. Variations in the origin of the splenic artery were noted. Results: It was observed that the splenic artery originated from the celiac trunk in 48 cadavers (96%), in 1 cadaver (02%) it originated from the abdominal aorta and in 1 cadaver (02%) from superior mesenteric artery. Conclusion: Keeping in mind the clinical importance and to add up more knowledge to the already existing literature, the present study was conducted to know the exact variations in origin of splenic arteryof native population.
