ABSTRACT
65-year-old man with right upper quadrant pain and constipation was underwent abdominal computed tomography examination. A solid lesion originating from colonic segment was detected on computed tomography. Multiple liver metastatic lesion was also seen. While evaluating of vascular structures; splenic artery was directly originating from abdominal aorta. The celiac trunk is the first major branch of the abdominal aorta, originates at the level of the T12–L1. Splenic artery is the largest branch of celiac trunk. Most of the splenic artey originates from celiac trunk. If not originating from celiac trunk, splenic artery has an aberrant from either aorta, superior mesenteric artery or left gastric artery. Abdominal aorta origin of splenic artery is a rare variation. Knowledge of variations of splenic artery is of extreme clinical importance while performing total pancreatectomy or in patients undergoing diagnostic angiography for gastrointestinal bleeding or transcatheter therapy.
