Vascular anatomical variants of the abdomen are very frequent. Knowledge of these variants is of paramount importance in clinical practice, particularly in surgery, because of the related therapeutic implications. Agenesis of the celiac trunk is one of the rare anatomical variants of the abdominal aorta. A limited number of cases have been reported in the medical literature. We report a case of agenesis of the celiac trunk, with separate emergence of its three branches directly from the abdominal aorta, discovered incidentally during a computed tomography (CT)scan performed as part of extension assessment of gallbladder adenocarcinoma.
