Figure 1

Sagittal view of a CT mesenteric angiogram showing a short celiac-mesenteric trunk (asterisk) arising from the abdominal aorta. The trunk further branches into the celiac trunk (CT) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Inset: an intraluminal thrombus can be seen within the SMA appearing as a filling defect (green arrow) and causing flow cessation in the lumen.
