Diagnostic and interventional imaging·2019

A rare middle mesenteric artery anomaly was found, supplying the cecum and entire colon. This anatomical variation was identified using computed tomographic angiography, offering new insights into mesenteric vascular variations.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular anatomy
  • Surgical anatomy
  • Radiological anatomy

Background:

  • The middle mesenteric artery is an exceptionally rare anatomical variation.
  • Typically, the transverse colon receives blood supply from the middle colic artery, a branch of the superior mesenteric artery.

Observation:

  • Computed tomographic angiography revealed an anomalous middle mesenteric artery originating from the aorta.
  • This artery branched into the ileocolic and right, middle, and accessory middle colic arteries.

Findings:

  • The identified anomaly supplied the cecum, ascending colon, and transverse colon.
  • This represents a significant variation in the mesenteric arterial supply.

Implications:

  • Understanding such rare vascular anomalies is crucial for accurate surgical planning.
