Purpose:
Knowledge of the wide variability in celiac trunk branches is of paramount importance when planning an abdominal surgery.
Methods:
We, hereby, report a previously undescribed origin of the gastroduodenal artery discovered on an abdominal angio-CT.
Results:
CT-angiogram performed on a 33-year-old female randomly revealed a new variant of gastroduodenal artery arising directly from the splenic artery along with other vascular aberrations. The latter were previously described in medical literature.
Conclusion:
High-quality preoperative imaging is crucial for identification of visceral artery variations, as those can technically modify the surgical or interventional procedure.
