Abstract :

Celiac trunk is originated from the abdominal aorta and supplied to the derivatives of foregut and spleen. Knowledge of variation in its origin and anching pattern are necessary for surgeons, performing abdominal surgeries. The abdomen of total 32 human cadavers were dissected, to observe the origin and anching pattern of the celiac trunk. In 6 (18.75%) cases (Ist group) the celiac trunk bifurcated into hepatomesenteric and gastrosplenic divisions. In 3 (9.4 %) cases (IInd group) the celiac trunk bifurcated into hepatopancreatic and gastrosplenic divisions. In 3 (9.4%) cases (IIInd group) the abnormal origin (intrathoracic) and anching pattern of the celiac trunk was observed. The left gastric artery in this group originated from the trunk and finally the trunk divided into hepatic and splenic anches. The present study documents the variations in origin and anching pattern of the celiac trunk in North Indian population.
