Popis: The splenic artery is characterized by large individual variability on both extra-and intraorganic levels. The authors describe the case of an accessory splenic artery, which was found in the study of corrosion cast preparation. An accessory artery diameter of 0.1 mm was diverted at a sharp angle from the upper branch of the splenic artery and at the level of the hilum branched into two vessels of I and II order from a sharp angle. In the parenchyma it accompanied the segmental arteries and had a shared blood supply with them.
