Variant anatomy of celiac artery branches with direct aortic origin

Discussion:

Incidentally noted on this oncology follow-up CT is that the left gastric, common hepatic and splenic arteries directly arise from the aorta, which is a normal variant. 

The direct aortic origin of the celiac artery branches have the following incidences: 

  • left gastric artery: 2-3%
  • splenic artery: <1%
  • common hepatic artery: 2%
