Quadrifurcation of coeliac trunk – A case report
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
During routine dissection of a cadaver in the department of anatomy at Rajarajeswari Medical College and Hospital, we found a very rare type of branching pattern of the Coeliac Trunk (CT). The CT measured 5cm in length and was quadrifurcating into right proper hepatic artery, common hepatic artery, left gastric artery and splenic artery. The right proper hepatic artery had unusual course where it ran behind the portal vein and bile duct to reach the right lobe of liver. The right gastric artery aroused from the right proper hepatic artery before it passed behind the portal vein and bile duct. The common hepatic artery bifurcated into left hepatic artery and gastroduodenal artery, the latter in turn gave rise to cystic artery. A complete knowledge of these variations in branching pattern of CT is clinically important for hepatobiliary surgeons and also for radiologists.
