High aortic bifurcation with an extremely short left common iliac artery
摘要
A rare congenital arterial variation was identified in a 17-year-old male undergoing abdominal computed tomography. Imaging demonstrated a high abdominal aortic bifurcation at the inferior margin of the L3 vertebral body, with a markedly short left common iliac artery bifurcating at the superior margin of L4. After bifurcation, the left internal and external iliac arteries coursed in close apposition along the anterior aspect of the L4–L5 vertebral bodies.
