The purpose of this study was to describe the frequency of the variations in the branching pattern of the aortic arch (AA) according to multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) imaging findings. MDCT images of 1136 consecutive patients who had undergone imaging of the chest were retrospectively examined. Eleven different branching patterns were observed. A left-sided AA with three major branches was seen in 74.4% of the patients. Bovine-type AA (21.1%) and independent origin of the left vertebral artery (3.7%) were the next two most common patterns.

Background: Groove pancreatitis (GP) is a form of pancreatitis that affects the pancreaticoduodenal groove area, which lies between the head of the pancreas, the second part of the duodenum and the distal bile duct, presenting as abdominal pain and gastric outlet obstruction. In this study, we present the clinical and radiological characteristics of individuals diagnosed with groove pancreatitis at our center and discuss the use of a conservative treatment approach in managing GP.

Methods: The data of patients with groove pancreatitis treated at our center between January 2012 and December 2021 was analyzed.
