“…None of the described types included the hepato-hepatic trunk found in the present case. In a review including 9829 cases, a hepatosplenic trunk was found in 3.3%, a splenogastric and hepatomesenteric trunk was found in 1.9%, and a splenogastric trunk in 1.1% of studied subjects [8]. Additional trunks with very low incidence were presented but we could not match any of them with the presented hepato-hepatic trunk.…”

“…Due to the high clinical significance of these branches many studies have documented the arterial variations of the major unpaired arteries that originate from the aorta. Some studies offer classifications with the types and frequency of these variations, in an effort to illustrate the extensive variety [1,3,[5][6][7][8]14]. In a review of the literature, on 2141 cadavers, 87.6% of coeliac trunks had the classical trifurcation, 12.2% presented an incomplete bifurcated coeliac trunk and in 0.2% was absent [14].…”

“…In an extensive review of 12196 cases, the 89.4% had the typical complete trifurcation of the coeliac trunk while 10.6% exhibited variations. It seems there is a prevalence of Korean and Japanese populations presenting coeliac trunk variations more frequently than Caucasians [8]. In rare cases, the coeliac branches may arise independently from the anterior wall of the abdominal aorta [4,6,14].…”

“…Panagouli et al [19] searched four databases and collected 36 studies with a total number of 12.196 casesthe largest series in the literature -in 2013. They reported the classical trifucation in the 89.42% (n=10.906) of the cases and bifurcation of the CT in 7.4% of the pooled samples (n=903).…”

Trifurcation of the celiac trunk (CT) was first described by Haller in 1756 and named as 'Tripus Halleri'. It is found as a normal anatomical feature in 85% of the human population in CT images, and variations are observed for the remaining 15%. The rarest CT variation is the absence of CT which is found in 0.4% of the population. Although agenesis of CT is often asymptomatic, this variation should be considered while planning surgical interventions in the abdomen. Hereby, we report a case of the absence of the CT together with independent origin of the left gastric, splenic and common hepatic arteries from the ventral wall of the abdominal aorta.
