Multiple variations of collateral branches of the abdominal aorta associated with pyelic duplication: A case report

Abstract

Purpose: We describe a rare case of anatomical variation of the collaterals of the abdominal aorta associated with a duplication of the pyelic.

Material and method: A 51-year-old patient in whom an abdominal CT scan was performed as part of the exploration of a cystic left renal mass objectified on ultrasound.

Results: A celiomesenteric trunk with two left renal arteries and a duplication of the left pyelon were found.

Conclusion: The reported case is of interest in the rare association of these anatomical variants.

Keywords: Abdominal aorta; Collateral branches; Pyelic duplication.
