In a stdudenet course of gross anatomy dissection at Kanagawa Dental College in 2006, we found an extremely rare case of the hepatic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery of a 78-year-old Japanese male cadaver. This case belonged to type V in Adachi's classification of the celiac trunk and the superior mesenteric artery (1928). The gastro-splenic trunk and hepato-mesenteric trunk b...

SUPERIOR MESENTERIC ARTERY SYNDROME AN UNUSUAL CAUSE OF DUODENAL OBSTRUCTION. (Abstract): Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) arising from aorta at the level of first lumbar vertebra usually takes an angular downward course from ventral surface of aorta. It is through this vascular angle that the 3rd part of duodenum passes at the level of 4th lumbar vertebra. Fat and lymphatics around SMA maintai...

Coeliac trunk and Superior Mesenteric arteries are very much susceptible to variations were described by Tandler in 1904. Abdominal aorta branches classified as single double or visceral parietal. Double middle suprarenal, renal testicular coeliac trunk, superior mesenteric inferior arteries. Materials Methods: After obtaining ethical committee approval, we observed the origin, course branching...

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) mostly occurs in adolescent or young adults and is a rare disorder. The syndrome was first described by the Von Rokitansky in 1842 and since then about 400 cases has been reported in literature but SMAS is not well recognised and often diagnosed late till the patients are far advanced with their symptoms (Geer 1990, Raissi et al1996). In general popula...

BACKGROUND Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is uncommon and characterized by postprandial epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, anorexia and weight loss. The syndrome is caused by compression of the third part of the duodenum in the angle between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. This review updates etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and outcome of the superior mesenteric ...

The interesting points.of this case were the facts: 1. That the aneurysm must have been one occurring in thc superior mesenteric artery in its course behind the pancreas,. remnants of the arterial wall being found lying fiat on tlle posterior wall of the cavity. 2. That the gradual dilatation of the large aneurysmal cavity lhad exercised a tractioii on the aorta itself, so that a falsiform aneu...

INTRODUCTION Isolated spontaneous dissection of the superior mesenteric artery is a very rare condition. Endovascular stent placement has been proposed recently for selected cases, which has led to some good clinical results. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of spontaneous dissection of the superior mesenteric artery spreading to the origin of a right hepatic artery in a 48-year-old Chinese...
