Summary: | Abstract
Bilateral variations in the origin of testicular arteries from renal arteries along with multiple renal arteries were observed in an embalmed middle aged male cadaver during routine dissection for the under graduates. Since the urogenital system has a complicated embryological development, the congenital anomalies and variations in these structures are common. Testicular arterial anatomy is important for testicular and renal surgeries. Anatomical variations of testicular arteries have been reported as 4.7%. Presence of aberrant renal arteries have been seen in 13-16% of cases only. Knowledge of variations in the renal vasculature is of importance not only for the surgeons but also for the radiologist, especially in the interventional and radiological investigations of abdominal region. |
