[Anatomo-radiological study of the middle colic artery in children from 0 to 1 year].

Abstract The authors tried to establish the most frequent origin and distribution patterns of the middle colic artery. The search consisted of fifty cases and it was possible to distinguish five fundamental types of vascular origin and two basic types of distribution. The use of the radiological method for the anatomical study of small vascular structures proved us the great importance comparing it with the traditional dissecation.
