AbstractThe renal arteries take origin from the lateral aspect of aorta little below the origin of superior mesenteric artery at the level of L2 vertebra. During routine dissection of an elderly female cadaver aged 60 years triple renal arteries & retro aortic left renal vein was found. The comprehensive knowledge of the renal arterial pattern which remains as the key issue in determining the technical feasibility of surgical interventions as well as the post operative management.

Abstract:The kidneys are the excretory organs. The kidneys are supplied by right and left renal arteries at the level of second lumbar vertebrae. They are drained by right and left renal vein which runs anterior to renal arteries.During routine dissection of an adult male cadaver in the department of Anatomy, we observed an unusual variation in the blood vessels supplying left kidney.These variations are due to persistence of embryonic vessels.Though variations in the renal vessels are common, proper knowledge of variations is essential not only to the anatomists but also for the clinicians and to perform surgical and radiological procedures more safely and efficiently.

The variations in origin of renal arteries are very common. During routine dissection of a male cadaver we found left accessory renal artery. The origin of accessory renal artery is immediately below main renal artery. The left inferior accessory renal arteries run towards inferior pole of left kidney, in the area where the left renal vein was leaving the left kidney. The vascular variations are very important for vascular surgeons, urologists, nephrologists, radiologists. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jcmsn.v7i1.5976 JCMSN 2011; 7(1): 65-68

AbstractPrecise knowledge of urogenital vascular anomalies has become extremely important in the past decade with increasing numbers of renal transplantations, minimally invasive vascular surgeries and numerous radiologic procedures. We report the presence of multiple variations in urogenital vasculature bilaterally in a 52 year old male Indian cadaver. Twin renal arteries were encountered bilaterally. Main renal artery was originating bilaterally at L1 vertebral level and accessory renal arteries were originating as ventral branches of abdominal aorta at L3 vertebral level and were travelling to the lower part of the respective kidneys. Twin renal veins were draining the right kidney independently whereas the left renal vein was bifurcating into two tributaries and draining separately into the inferior vena cava. Multiple testicular veins were found bilaterally. This report will prove to be helpful in various surgical and radiological interventions performed in the field of urology.

Summary Objective: To increase awareness on the severe impact of the nutcracker syndrome in women with undiagnosed disease. Patients and methods: We reviewed the medical literature and analyzed six representative series with 73 patients with nutcracker syndrome. Women with left flank pain, dyspareunia, dysuria, dysmenorrhea, micro- or macrohaematuria and pelvic congestion symptoms, should be carefully investigated for evidence of meso aortic left renal vein compression. A good number of our colleagues do not believe in the existence of the nutcracker syndrome and send these patients in a long pilgrimage in search of someone who can help them to get relief to their pain. New and improved imaging techniques can assist in the diagnosis but retrograde reno-gonadal phlebography and renocaval gradient are the most reliable diagnostic tools. Results: Among an assortment of treatment techniques, renal vein transposition and endovenous stenting were the two most commonly used procedures. There are no long term studies on renal vein stenting in children and young adults. Its use in these cases should be carefully considered. The nutcracker syndrome may present with pelvic congestion symptoms and its diagnosis missed. The patient's age, severity of symptoms and haemo dynamic renal studies should guide the treatment. Conclusion: An increased awareness of the existence of the nutcracker syndrome may prevent many unfortunate undiagnosed women from spending many months and often years of suffering.
