Trifurcation of the celiac trunk (CT) was first described by Haller in 1756 and named as ‘Tripus Halleri’. It is found as a normal anatomical feature in 85% of the human population in CT images, and variations are observed for the remaining 15%. The rarest CT variation is the absence of CT which is found in 0.4% of the population. Although agenesis of CT is often asymptomatic, this variation should be considered while planning surgical interventions in the abdomen. Hereby, we report a case of the absence of the CT together with independent origin of the left gastric, splenic and common hepatic arteries from the ventral wall of the abdominal aorta.
