“…Morita proposed a modified version of the celiac axis classification which included absent celiac artery as one of the anatomical variants. Morita's classification included (i) celiac trunk, (ii) hepatosplenic, (iii) gastrosplenic, (iv) hepatogastric, and (v) absent celiac trunk [1,4].…”

“…Earlier classifications of the celiac artery did not include the missing celiac artery as a variant [4,5]. As per Morita's classification [1,4], this case belongs to type V (typus primitus). Adequate pre-operative workup helped surgeons in understanding the vascular anatomy intraoperatively and therefore, after mutual consensus of transplant team it was decided that no alteration in the standard surgical plan was needed in this donor.…”

Background Celiac trunk agenesis is the recent and the rarest vascular variation reported. Reported cases in literature were identified either incidentally on imaging or while cadaveric dissections. This is a unique experience of hepatectomy in a patient without celiac artery ever reported. Case presentation This is a case of a patient who was scheduled to undergo donor hepatectomy. He was found to have a rare anatomical variation of agenesis of the celiac trunk during preoperative imaging done as a routine transplant surgery workup. He underwent live donor hepatectomy with no intra-operative or post-operative complications. This is the first case to be reported in the literature of a donor hepatectomy for liver transplantation in a patient with this rarest vascular variation of the celiac axis. Conclusion Pre-operative imaging to determine hepatic vascular anatomy improves the understanding of the surgeon intraoperatively while dissection and decreases the chance of any iatrogenic damage.

Introduction: The celiac trunk is an arterial trunk that has been the subject of numerous anatomical and radiological studies. From its origin, at the front of the abdominal aorta, the trunk extends for 1.5 - 2 cm and then divides into three branches: the left gastric artery, the common hepatic artery and the splenic artery. This type of trifurcation was first described by Haller, in 1756, and is considered the most common anatomical pattern. Anatomical variations of the celiac trunk are numerous, both in terms of branching and dimensions. The complete absence of the celiac trunk is a rare anatomical variation, wherein all three branches arise directly and independently from the abdominal aorta. Case report: A 63-year-old oncology patient was referred to the radiology department for an Mr examination of the abdomen, in order to differentially diagnose changes in the adrenal glands. During the examination, complete absence of the celiac trunk was observed. The left gastric artery, splenic artery, and common hepatic artery arose directly and independently from the abdominal aorta. Conclusion: A variation of this type is mostly asymptomatic and has no negative effect on the blood supply of visceral organs. In literature, the prevalence of this vascular pattern ranges from 0.1% to 4%. Knowledge of vascular variations in the abdomen is very important during surgical, diagnostic and endovascular procedures.
