Abstract :
Awareness of the variation and renal vascular abnormality at retroperitoneal space surgeries
such as kidney surgery and transplantation is very important and necessary. Complexity in the
veins development of the kidney area of fetus leads to a series of changes in the production of
these veins, including the extra kidney vein, and the posterior aorta vein. In this case report, we
present a case report of a 36-year-old male with a rare renal variation which has been identified
with a simple abdominal Computed Tomography (CT) scan (16-slice). In this case report, there
is a single renal vein which becomes two branches before drainage into Inferior Vena Cava
(IVC) in which one of these branches passes anterior to aorta and the other posterior to aorta
which suggests the type of circumaortic left renal vein.
