Abstract

The hepatic, splenic and left gastric arteries are considered as the “main classic branches” of the coeliac trunk. We reported two cases of coeliac trunk. Left inferior phrenic artery arose directly from coeliac trunk and accessory hepatic artery arose from common hepatic artery. In our opinion; arterial variations should not be ignored during abdominal operative procedures. Complications in abdominal surgeries could be avoided with the accurate knowledge of the anatomical variations of coeliac trunk.
