Celio-mesenteric trunk (CMT) is a rare vascular variation of the ventral branches of the abdominal aorta that supply blood to the mesentery and the gut. This rare variation is seen in 2/100.000 population. The presence of this anomaly is associated with an increased risk of mesenteric ischemia in the case of proximal occlusion.
