Surgico-anatomical elucidation of variant dorsal pancreatic artery

Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (2. Language): 
The celiac trunk (CT) springs out from the abdominal aorta on its ventral aspect just below the aortic opening of the diaphragm at the level of twelfth thoracic vertebra. In the current study, we report the occurrence of an additional and anomalous dorsal pancreatic branch stemming out of CT besides the normally observed branches coexistent with absence of superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (SPDA).Haller has also a similar dorsal pancreatic branch to be arising from the CT and referred it as “arteria pancreatica suprema”. An attempt has also been made to discuss the morphology, distribution and clinico-embryological implications of this anomalous dorsal pancreatic artery (DPA).
