- Abstract
Objectives: Renal arteries which supply the kidney originate from anterolateral or lateral branches of abdominal aorta below the superior mesenteric artery at the level of L1-L2 vertebrae. Due to the persistence of embriyonic vessels, lateral branches of mesonephrons, in adulthood, anatomy of the renal artery shows variation. Variation of double renal artery is the most common one among the renal morphological variations. Case report: A 67 year old male patient who admitted to emergency department with severe abdominopelvic pain.The case showed variation of the renal artery during CT angiography. In the literature, different values ranging from the 11% to 30.9% are given related with the variation of root of the renal artery. Results: According to classical anatomy textbooks in 70% of individuals represent single renal artery which is derived from the abdominal aorta at the level of L1-L2 vertebra. However, the description of classical renal vascularization is formed by one artery and one vein is only found less than 25% of the cases. On the other hand the frequency of variation of the renal artery shows social, ethnical and racial differences. Conclusion: Failure of transplantation of the kidney is supplied by double renal artery is higher than the kidney is supplied by single artery. We believe that our results in this study will increase the awareness of variations and effect the success of surgical procedure positively.
