“…Jedan deo osoba sa nedostatkom celijačnog stabla se otkrije slučajno, izvan ciljanih istraživanja, prilikom dijagnostike savremenim radiološkim tehnikama. Tako su Karamanidi i saradnici [34], u svom prikazu slučaja, opisali šezdesetdevetogodišnju pacijentkinju, a Van den Broek i saradnici [8] jednog pacijenta sa Juingovim sarkomom, kod kojih je ova varijacija primećena prilikom pregleda abdomena kompjuterizovanom tomografijom. I u našem radu je nedostatak celijačnog stabla zapravo bio slučajni nalaz, uočen tokom pregleda abdomena magnetnom rezonancom.…”

“…A certain number of persons with an absent celiac trunk is discovered accidentally, outside targeted studies, during the application of modern radiological diagnostic techniques. Thus, in their case study, Karamanidi et al [34] described a sixty-nine-year-old female patient, while Van den Broecke et al [8] described a patient with Ewing sarcoma, in whom this variation was observed upon CT examination of the abdomen. In our study, the absence of the celiac trunk was, in fact, also an incidental finding, observed during MRI examination of the abdomen.…”

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.

Persistence of Abdominal Pain: Did You Check for Mesenteric Vessels?

The incidence of abnormalities regarding the celiac-mesenteric trunk (CMT) has been reported to be between 1% and 2.7%, whereas for visceral aneurysms the incidence is between 0.1% and 0.2% of the general population. Anatomical variations in the CMT may be the result of abnormal embryogenesis of the primitive segmental splanchnic arteries that supply the bowel and several abdominal organs. The clinical presentation may range from vague abdominal symptoms to aneurysm rupture with a significant mortality risk. In this case, we describe the clinical history of a 37-year-old man with postprandial abdominal pain likely related to the celiac-mesenteric trunk enlargement, associated with high resistance flow in the proximal site. Postprandial symptoms improved by avoiding large meals and surveillance for the CMT anomalies was recommended by cross-imaging including the echo-color-Doppler to assess blood flow modification.
