The coeliac trunk is an artery of the foregut. It is about 1.5 cm long, present below the aortic hiatus and originates from ventral aspect of abdominal aorta. It runs horizontally forwards and slightly right above the pancreas and splenic vein. It further trifurcates into left gastric artery, common hepatic artery and splenic artery. During dissection various authors have reported the anatomical variation of coeliac trunk and its branching pattern. The most common classical type of branching pattern of coeliac trunk is the trifurcation but, in this case, it has been noticed that, there is early origin of left gastric artery. This condition usually being asymptomatic becomes importance during certain operative procedures and while performing major surgeries, knowledge of such variation plays a very significant role.
