ABSTRACT
The present study describes a rare variation which celiac trunk is divided into four branches instead of three, in addition to a retro-portal pathway of the right hepatic artery. This variation was observed in a male adult cadaver. In this article, we also review the literature to make a brief discussion of the clinical and embryological relevance of these variations. The identification of that kind of variations in the celiac trunk and hepatic arteries is extremely important for surgeons and radiologists since multiple variations can lead to unexpected complications.
Key words: Anatomical Variation, Celiac Trunk, Hepatic Artery.
