The transpyloric plane , also known as Addison's plane , is an imaginary axial plane located midway between the jugular notch and superior border of pubic symphysis, at approximately the level of L1 vertebral body. It an important landmark as many key structures are visualized at this level, although natrurally there is anatomical variation. The structures traditionally thought of as lying in the transpyloric plane include:
pylorus of the stomach
D1 part of the duodenum
duodeno-jejunal flexure
root of the transverse mesocolon
hepatic flexure of the colon
splenic flexure of the colon
fundus of the gallbladder
neck of the pancreas
hila of the kidneys
hilum of the spleen
ninth costal cartilage
termination of spinal cord and superior portion of conus medullaris
origin of superior mesenteric artery
