We read Grigoriță et al.'s case report "Unusual anatomical variation: tetrafurcation of the celiac trunk". They report a coeliac trunk giving rise to a common inferior phrenic artery and an accessory left gastric artery before bifurcating into a common hepatic artery and a splenogastric trunk.
The terminology they use causes confusion, as they do not distinguish between the two meanings of the splenogastric trunk. One refers to a common trunk for the splenic and left gastric arteries, with the common hepatic arising elsewhere and the second refers to a variation in the order of branching of the complete coeliac trunk.
