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 contrastenhanced 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 presurgical, 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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
