Abnormal or wandering course of an artery in the body.
From arterio- (artery) + -plania (wandering, from Greek plane). Describes arteries that don't follow their normal anatomical path. Rare medical term.
Sometimes an artery takes a weird detour through your body instead of the normal route—this arterioplania can cause compression problems or make surgery tricky because surgeons have to hunt for the vessel where it shouldn't be.
