Celiacomesenteric trunk (CMT) refers to the common origin of celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery which is a very rare anatomical variation. CMT is incidentally diagnosed during angiography or abdominal computed tomography scanning. The diagnosis of CMT may inform surgical practice and prevent damage during invasive radiologic procedures, lowering thus the rate of iatrogenic errors. Complete common mesentery is in its turn a rarer congenital anomaly that arises from an abnormal rotation of primitive small intestine during embryonic development. We report a case of a 48-year-old man, suffering from chronic abdominal pain, and postprandial discomfort. The patient underwent an abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography that detected a CMT associated with common complete mesentery. According to our review of bibliography, this is the first case report to simultaneously report both congenital anomalies (CMT and common complete mesentery). Furthermore, the CMT described here has not been described in previous classifications and represent a novel anatomical variation of CMT.

The celiacomesenteric trunk (CMT) is a rare anatomical variant where the celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery share a common origin. Despite its rarity, CMT has significant implications across various medical fields, particularly in surgical planning and interventional procedures. We report a case of chronic mesenteric ischemia owing to atherosclerotic stenosis at the CMT bifurcation, necessitating a complex interventional approach.

Article Synopsis
- The celiacomesenteric trunk (CMT) is a rare anatomical variation that connects the celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery (SMA), having important clinical implications for surgeries and patient management.
- A case study of a 99-year-old woman with septic shock uncovered an incidental CMT, along with significant lab findings indicating severe illness, requiring immediate medical intervention.
- Complications related to CMT, such as stenosis or thrombosis, could lead to complex surgical procedures, highlighting the necessity for healthcare professionals to thoroughly understand these risks to prevent complications in critically ill patients.

Background: The celiacomesenteric trunk (CMT) is a common duct of the celiac artery (CA) and the superior mesenteric artery originating from the aorta, which is an uncommon anatomical variant of visceral artery circulation. Because of the variety of visceral circulation in those with CMT, the visceral circulation associated with each branch should be evaluated prior to surgical treatment of visceral artery aneurysm in the CMT.
Case Presentation: A 64-year-old woman was diagnosed with a CA aneurysm in the CMT.
