Normal Distance Measurements Between the Origins of the Major Branches of the Abdominal Aorta on Computed Tomography Angiography in Children

“…The current study is the initial and unique imaging study to evaluate the vascular distances in children according to their age and gender. The mean distances between the origins of the CTR-SMA, CTR-RRA, CTR-LRA, and CTR-IMA were between 20% and 30% lower than those reported in adults [7][8][9]13 . Moreover, these distances increased significantly with age possibly related to aortic elongation with the age and body height of the children.…”

“…The origins of the RRA and LRA were located between 28.5-32 mm, and 27-36 mm below the CTR, respectively 10,12 . A recent MDCT angiography study by Ekingen et al 13 reported the mean CTR-SMA and CTR-IMA distances as 13.5±0.37 and 89.40±0.99 mm for males and 12.20±0.33 and 84.80±0.92 mm for females, respectively.…”
