title: [Unusual variation of the splenic artery].
abstract: The authors describe an exceptional variation of the splenic artery found on a preoperative angiogram and confirmed after surgery on splenopancreatectomy specimens. Total duplication of the splenic artery is herein reported for the first time and suggest the need for a new classification of digestive arteries anomalies.
