Celiomesenteric trunk: An anatomical variation of gastrointestinal vasculature
Abstract
Celiomesenteric trunk (CMT), a rare anatomical variant of the origin of the celiac trunk and the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) as a single trunk, has significant clinical implications. This case report describes an incidental observation of a CMT in a female cadaver of the Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Wayamba University of Sri Lanka. The presence of this variation may influence surgical and interventional procedures in the gastrointestinal system. Therefore, it is essential to be aware of such variations for accurate diagnosis, management, and surgical planning.
