“…The ratio of common origin for the TA and the suprarenal artery has been estimated approximately 1:26 [2]. Very rarely, TA may arise from the thoracic aorta [24] or from an anomalous middle mesenteric artery [28]. Furthermore, rarely, TA may provide branches, such as the inferior phrenic and the superior suprarenal arteries [30].…”

“…Mamatha (2011) reported the TA originating from the right common iliac artery, Thomas et al () reported it originating from the left external iliac artery, Mamatha et al () from the right inferior epigastric artery. Mazengenya () reported the right subcostal artery as origin, while Naito et al () reported an abnormal middle mesenteric artery as origin. Merklin and Michael had reported cases of the TA originating from the celiac trunk and the superior mesenteric artery (Wadhwa and Soni, ).…”

“…Kachlik et al in 2009 described a case of an MMA supplying the left colic flexure and continuing as a left colic artery (4). Naito et al in 2011 reported a very rare case where the MMA gave a left testicular artery and then supplied the transverse colon (5). Finally, Milnerowicz et al in 2012 described a cadaveric specimen, in which they also performed arteriography with a MMA totally and exclusively supplying the transverse colon, behaving thus as an aberrant middle colic artery (6).…”

“…The Middle Mesenteric Artery (MMA) is defined as a vessel which originates directly from the abdominal aorta. In these cases, the vessel arises between the Superior (SMA) and the Inferior Mesenteric Arteries (IMA) and mainly supplies the transverse, and sometimes the descending or ascending colon (3)(4)(5)(6). The MMA is considered to be a very rare variation, with an incidence lower than 0.1% (5).…”
