摘要
The abdominal aorta enters the diaphragm at the level of the 12th thoracic vertebra and gives branches such as the celiac trunk (CT), superior mesenteric, and inferior mesenteric arteries. The main aim of the present research study was to observe the CT with regard to (i) variations in the dimensions among different age groups compared to gender, (ii) the vertebral level of origin, and (iii) the variation in the branching pattern. This cross-sectional retrospective study was performed on 116 subjects (n = 91 males, n = 25 females) over one year. The CT was interpreted by using contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography. The results were assessed using parametric and non-parametric statistical tests. The length and diameter between gender and the three age groups (i.e., 29 years and below, 30-39 years, and more than 40 years) were compared and a p-value of less than or equal to 0.05 was considered significant. There was a significant difference in the length (p = 0.016) and diameter of the CT (p = 0.05) among males and females, respectively. Moreover, there was a significant difference in the length (p = 0.038) and diameter (p = 0.013) of the CT among the three age groups. Individuals aged 30-39 years had the highest mean for the length of the CT, while patients aged 29 years and younger had the highest diameter. The most common level for CT origin was at the vertebral level of the 12th thoracic vertebra (73.3%). Anatomical knowledge of the CT is important for diagnostic imaging, organ transplantations, and surgical and laparoscopic interventions.
