Abstract
Common celiacomesenteric trunk, with the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries having a common origin from the aorta, is the least frequently reported anatomic variation of all abdominal vascular anomalies. Knowledge of variations concerning the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery are of great importance for both surgical approaches and angiographic examinations. Clinicians should keep in mind these variations to avoid complications.
Highlights
Vitelline arteries are initially a number of paired vessels supplying the yolk sac
Celiac and superior mesenteric arteries having a common origin from the aorta accounts for less than 1% of all abdominal vascular anomalies, and it is estimated to have an incidence of 0.25%
During the evaluation of the celiac trunk compression syndrome, the existence of a common celiacomesenteric trunk should be kept in mind.[10]
Summary
Vitelline arteries are initially a number of paired vessels supplying the yolk sac. Gradually they fuse and form the arteries located in the dorsal mesentery of the gut. These vessels supply the derivatives of foregut, midgut, and hindgut, respectively.[1] As anterior branches of the aorta, the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery are the most important as they supply the gastrointestinal tract. Celiac trunk usually arises from the aorta at the level of twelfth thoracic vertebra and after a short course, divides into left gastric, common hepatic and splenic arteries.
