Vascular Variations Of The Kidneys: Case Report And Mini Review

ABSTRACT

Background: The diversity of the human body structure which results to a great variety of vascular branching,seems to be endless. The vascular variations of the renal arteries are among the most frequent discovered ones.We present such a case, found during an educational cadaveric dissection.Results: Vascular branching alternations from the norm were observed in both kidneys of the case report. Abilateral presence of additional arteries, a polar one in the right side and a hilar one in the left side, with adouble renal vein in the left side were observed.Conclusions: Anatomy of the renal vessels usually is depicted with a plethora of variants. Clinicians should beaware that the renal topographical anatomy presents such difficulties, in order for complications to be avoidedduring various procedures.
