ABSTRACT:

Anatomical variations in the origin of the arteries in the abdominal area are very common. The coeliac trunk, renal and gonadal arteries are the arteries that show frequent variations. During routine dissection of a male cadaver, two  aberrant  renal arteries (one on right & one on left ) supplying bilateral polycystic kidneys and anomalous right testicular artery arising from aberrant right renal artery was found in the abdominal region. Both the aberrant  renal arteries originated from the right antero lateral aspect of abdominal aorta, ran towards  the lower pole of corresponding polycystic kidneys .We found  that the origin of right and left  aberrant renal arteries were not at the same level. Aberrant right renal artery arose at a lower level than the aberrant left renal artery. Origin of aberrant right and left renal arteries were 45mm and 20mm below the origin of main right and left renal arteries. It was also found that the right testicular artery was anomalous taking origin from the right aberrant renal artery and the left testicular artery arose from abdominal aorta below the origin of left aberrant renal artery. These anatomical variations and anomalies are important to know before performing any diagnostic or therapeutic procedures in the abdominal area. Knowledge of the presence of aberrant renal arteries with anomalous origin of gonadal arteries is important with increased use of laparoscopic renal surgeries and donor nephrectomy.

Key words: Aberrant Renal Artery, Anomalous Testicular Artery, Polycystic Kidneys.
