Occlusion of an aberrant right hepatic artery, originating from the superior mesenteric artery, secondary to blunt trauma.

Hepatic arterial injury secondary to both blunt and penetrating traumas is well documented in the literature by case reports and articles regarding management. Penetrating injuries to the hepatic arteries are more common than injuries from blunt trauma. Hepatic arterial injuries secondary to blunt traumas are often associated with injuries to other vital organs or vascular structures, resulting in higher mortality rates. We describe the case of an individual involved in a motor vehicle crash, who sustained blunt traumatic occlusion of an aberrant right hepatic artery, originating from the superior mesenteric artery. No reports describing such an injury exist in the English language literature.
