Abstract
Coeliac artery forms the major blood supply for the structures derived from the foregut up to the major duodenal papillae. During the routine dissection classes for the undergraduates, a very uncommon variation in theorigin of the coeliac trunk was observed. Instead, of the coeliac artery, two trunks were arising directly from theabdominal aorta at the level of T12-L1. The gastrosplenic trunk and the common hepatic artery were apart fromeach other. An aberrant left hepatic artery arose from the left gastric artery, entering into the porta hepatis tosupply the left lobe of the liver. Lesser curvature of the stomach is solely supplied by the left gastric artery.Knowledge regarding such multiple variations in the abdominal region is utmost important for the anatomists,clinicians, a radiologist for performing angiographic studies and hepatic surgeons to avoid any damage to theaberrant artery, as it may result into the ischaemia and necrosis of the related part.
