title: [Angiographic anatomy of the cecal artery].
abstract: After studying the angiographic anatomy of the cecal artery in 80 post--mortem examinations we have demonstrated the following: -The common cecal trunk (76,2% of the cases) had its origin from the right colic artery in 12 (15%) and from the ileal artery in 49 (61,2%) observations. -The anterior and posterior cecal arteries had a separate origin in 19 observations (23,7%). In 7 of these observations (8,7%) the anterior cecal artery had its origin from the right colic artery and, the posterior cecal artery originated directly from the ileal artery. In 11 observations (13,8%) both cecal arteries, originated directly from the ileal artery and, in one case (1,2%) the anterior cecal artery originated from the right colic artery and the posterior cecal artery from the ileocolic artery.
