Özet: Objective: To evaluate, classify, and find the frequencies of the variations of the abdominal aorta and its main branches with multi-slice computed tomography. Material and Method: Between January 2010 and March 2012, data of 390 adult patients with contrast-enhanced computed tomography were included in the study retrospectively. The patients who had an intraabdominal solid organ or vascular surgery that affects the normal anatomy were excluded. The data were evaluated at the workstation. The frequencies of the variations of the abdominal aorta and its main branches were examined. The effect of gender on variation frequencies was also investigated. Results: In our study, the most frequent variations were at the hepatic artery, gastroduodenal artery, and renal arteries. The variations of the splenic artery and left gastric arteries were relatively rare. Statistically, a significant difference was not detected between genders in frequencies of variations of the arteries. Conclusion: According to our study, variations of the hepatic artery and renal arteries were frequently seen. Identification of the vascular variation is very important before the transplantation of liver or kidney or interventional procedures.
