Abstract
Abstract
Background: Multi detector computed tomography (MDCT) is form of computed tomography technology for diagnostic imaging for diagnosis of celiac trunk variations. Purpose: This study aims to describe the main anatomical variations of the celiac artery and its branches using Multi detector computed tomography. Patients and Methods: This study included 30 patients with signs and symptoms of various liver and other abdominal pathologies in which biphasic or triphasic contrast-enhanced CT was indicated (to study early arterial phase). Results: The commonest variant in our study was Uflacker type II (hepato-splenic trunk) in which CHA and SA have common trunk and LGA arises separately from aorta representing 40% while Uflacker type V (gastro-splenic trunk) in which the origin of the CHA from either the SMA or the aorta was the second common variants representing 20% . Conclusion: Knowledge of the celiac trunk anatomical variants is very important pre-surgical, pre-laparoscopic or even pre-interventional and this can be achieved using MDCT to minimize and avoid the major vascular complications and decrease the morbidity of patients , late arterial phase of computed tomography is sufficient for assessing celiac trunk variants.
