A RARE PRESENTATION OF TRIPLE RIGHT RENAL ARTERIES ARISING FROM ABDOMINAL AORTA - A CASE REPORT
Abstract
With recent advances in renal surgeries, it becomes imperative to understand the renal vascular anatomy and its variations. This case report highlights about a possible anatomical variation in renal vasculature. During routine dissection of a seventy year old male cadaver there were three right renal arteries. Patients with such variations may be completely asymptomatic. The renal arteries are paired large vessels arising from abdominal aorta. They branch and re-branch as segmental arteries to supply blood to the segments of the kidney. Precise knowledge of renal artery and its branching pattern is useful for surgeons performing nephrectomies and renal transplantations. Very commonly variations occur in number, source, branching and course of renal arteries. A supplemental renal artery is an additional artery within the renal vascular pedicle which perforates the kidney to supply it .The supplemental renal artery can either be an accessory renal artery or an aberrant renal artery. An accessory renal artery is a one that is accessory to main artery accompanies the same towards the hilum and enters through the hilum to supply it. An aberrant renal artery supplies the kidney without entering the hilum.
