Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: During the routine dissection classes for undergraduate medical students, we encountered a rare anatomical variation concerning the aberrant origin and course of the accessory splenic artery. The splenic artery is one of the direct branches of the coeliac trunk. During its tortuous course, it supplies the pancreas with greater curvature of the stomach and spleen. The accessory splenic artery originating from the main trunk of splenic artery, too, follows the same tortuous course while running through the lesser sac and supplies the posterior part of the spleen via the splenophrenic ligament. The accessory splenic artery is gaining clinical importance during various GI surgeries and some radiological procedures. The unnoticed accessory splenic artery damage may result in tremendous bleeding while performing GI-based surgery or radiological investigation like angiography. In our case report, the accessory splenic artery is an aberrant origin from the initial part of the actual splenic artery. Knowledge regarding the origin, course and termination is of utmost importance to GI surgeons, radiologists, and anatomists.
摘要：
■在医学生的常规解剖课程中，我们遇到了关于副脾动脉异常起源和走向的罕见解剖变异。脾动脉是腹腔干的直接分支之一。在它曲折的过程中，它为胰腺提供更大的胃和脾脏曲率。脾动脉起源于脾动脉主干，也是,遵循相同的曲折过程，同时运行通过小囊，并通过脾间韧带供应脾脏的后部。在各种胃肠道手术和某些放射学程序中，副脾动脉越来越重要。在进行基于胃肠道的手术或血管造影等放射学检查时，未注意的副脾动脉损伤可能会导致大量出血。在我们的案例报告中，副脾动脉是实际脾动脉初始部分的异常起源。关于起源的知识，课程和终止对胃肠外科医生来说是最重要的，放射科医生,和解剖学家。
