Case Discussion
A common celiacomesenteric trunk, i.e. a common origin shared by the celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery, is a rare variant. This case demonstrates an incidental finding within a finding: a celiacomesenteric trunk with a bicameral (double chamber) aneurysm whose anterior chamber is thrombosed.
