Accessory Hepatic Artery Originating from the Left Gastric Artery: an Unusual Branching Pattern of the Foregut Artery

Introduction: we report a case of accessory hepatic artery originating from the left gastric artery and supplying the left anatomical lobe of liver. The other branches from the coeliac trunk were found normal in this cadaver. We believe that this anatomical case report is enlightening to the laparoscopic surgeons and prior knowledge about this arterial variation will prevent the catastrophic intraoperative complications like bleeding.
