ABSTRACT
The coeliac trunk is an artery of the foregut. It is about 1.5 cm long,
present below the aortic hiatus and originates from ventral aspect of
abdominal aorta. It runs horizontally forwards and slightly right
above the pancreas and splenic vein. It further trifurcates into left
gastric artery, common hepatic artery and splenic artery. During
dissection various authors have reported the anatomical variation of
coeliac trunk and its branching pattern. The most common classical
type of branching pattern of coeliac trunk is the trifurcation but, in
this case, it has been noticed that, there is early origin of left gastric
artery. This condition usually being asymptomatic becomes
importance during certain operative procedures and while performing
major surgeries, knowledge of such variation plays a very significant
role.
