Abstract

Anomalous blood vesseles are always interesting from a purely scientific point of view, especially since they so often shed light on obscure problems of phylogeny and ontogeny. The evolutionary history of kidney and renal artery is recapitulated during embryonic development. Most of the variations of human renal vesseles can be explained on the basis of phylogeny as many conditions which are anomalous in human are normally present in some animals. The most common variation or renal artery is the presence of an accessory renal arteries, occuring in approximately 30% of cases. The precise knowledge of renal vascular pattern is significant in conduct of various renal surgeries, interventional radiology, and urologic procedures. Variations in renal vascularization have assumed greater importance in conservative surgeries; hence the presence of accessory arteries cannot be overlooked during surgical resection, partial nephrectomy and renal transplant. The present case report aims at highlighting the possible variation in renal vasculature and its embryological and clinical significance.

Key words: Accessory renal artery, Aorta, Kidney, Renal artery, Renal transplant
