“…The mean length of abdominal aorta was slightly less in females (13.2 cm) as compared to males ( 13.7 cm) the difference being statistically insignificant (p= 0.28). These findings are comparable to the studies by George, Cauldwell & Woodburne [11][12][13]. Cauldwell [11].…”

“…However, Neil Pennington [5] reported the most common position being at the level of upper third of L1 while Adachi [14] reported opposite middle third of L1. The most frequent vertebral level of origin of Inferior Mesenteric Artery was found at the lower 1/3 of the third lumbar vertebra similar to the studies by Cauldwell [11], Woodburne [12] & Neil Pennington [5]. However, George [13] and Adachi [14] reported opposite middle third of L3.…”

Abdominal aorta and its major branches supply oxygenated blood to all the organs in abdominal cavity and lower limbs. Striking variations in the origin and course of the principal branches of abdominal aorta have received the attention of the anatomists and surgeons from long periods. Accurate knowledge of the relationship and course of these arterial conduits and particularly of their variation patterns is of considerable practical importance during laparoscopic and various other surgical procedures. Aim: This study was conducted to find out normal pattern and variations of abdominal aorta and its different branches. Materials and Methods: The variations in the branching pattern of abdominal aorta were studied with meticulous dissection and observation, on total 40 adult cadavers (21 males & 19 females), over the period of two years. Variations of various branches of abdominal aorta were noted. Results: We found absent celiac trunk in 5%, instead of common celiac trunk there were two trunks gastrosplenic and hepatic. Origin of inferior phrenic artery was from celiac trunk in 35% cadavers. Accessory renal arteries were found in 27.5%. Gonadal arteries were originating from renal arteries in 5% cadavers. Conclusion: These arterial variations should not be ignored during the abdominal operative procedures, because many of the complications would be avoided with the precise knowledge of these anatomical variations.

“…The 3: predominance of women in most series has been attributed to the fact that women tend to have lower diaphragmatic insertions than men. 6 Curl et al 7 was the first to report a case of two-vessel mesenteric ischemia resulting from MAL compression. In that and in one subsequent detailed report, 8 blood supply to the foregut and midgut was found to depend on IMA collateral vessels, and dense connective tissue impingement on both vessels was proven at surgery.…”

Median arcuate ligament compression syndrome in monozygotic twins

Twin 27-year-old women had symptomatic mesenteric ischemia caused by median arcuate ligament compression. Arteriography demonstrated severe celiac artery stenosis in one twin, celiac artery occlusion in the other, and proximal superior mesenteric artery narrowing with retrograde filling from a meandering mesenteric artery in both. Division of the ligament and direct celiac artery revascularization completely relieved symptoms in both patients. Median arcuate ligament compression of the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries can result in mesenteric ischemia. Documentation of this unusual syndrome in monozygotic twins suggests that the responsible anatomic relationships are congenital.

“…This may result in centrilobular congestion and necrosis ultimately leading to fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver. Feller and Woodburne [10], documented the lateral deviation of abdominal aorta to be of clinical significance since it may be mistaken for an aneurysm when palpated through the abdominal wall as a pulsatile mass.…”

Anomalous blood vessels are always interesting from a purely scientific point of view, especially as they so often shed light on obscure problems of phylogeny and ontogeny. Variations in the vascular supply is of clinical importance to the general and vascular surgeons and to those who specialize in either urology or gynecology. During routine dissection multiple variations in the abdominal aorta and its branches were observed. Variations of origin and course of arteries of different organs are not only of anatomical and embryological interest but also of practical and clinical importance when these variations can be the agents of pathological conditions, or in surgery when knowledge of them can result in more accurate treatment. With the development of techniques of arteriography, the knowledge of arteries and of their variations has acquired a special importance for correct interpretation of the different, and sometimes very complicated roentgenographic pictures.
