Multiple variations in the paired arteries of the abdominal aorta

Variations in the origin of arteries in the abdomen are very common. The arteries that show frequent variations include the celiac trunk, renal arteries, and gonadal arteries. We observed multiple variations in a 45‐year‐old male cadaver. The variations found on the left side were: one accessory ren...

Description
Summary:Variations in the origin of arteries in the abdomen are very common. The arteries that show frequent variations include the celiac trunk, renal arteries, and gonadal arteries. We observed multiple variations in a 45‐year‐old male cadaver. The variations found on the left side were: one accessory renal artery, two testicular arteries, and middle suprarenal and inferior phrenic arteries that branched from the celiac trunk. On the right side, the inferior phrenic and middle suprarenal arteries arose from the right renal artery. Clin. Anat. 19:566–568, 2006. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
