Anomalous Origin of Left Testicular Artery from Accessory Left Renal Artery: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: A rare origin of the testicular artery from the renal artery seems to be an unrecognized variation which may be of particular importance to the radiologists and the surgeons while operating near the renal pedicle or in the retroperitoneal region. During routine dissection, we observed the unusual origin of the left testicular artery from an accessory renal artery in a middle-aged male cadaver. The possible embryologic basis for this variation as well as its clinical significance are discussed. These kinds of anomalies are important in surgical procedures related to the abdomen, such as renal transplantation, abdominal aortic aneurysm, ureter surgery, vascular pedicles of kidney and in angiographic interventions.
