Left double polar renal arteries, left triplicate (preaortic, accessory and retroaortic) renal veins associated with extrinsic pelviureteric junction obstruction and posterior nutcracker phenomenon

Abstract

The renal vasculature and its various congenital anomalies have been studied and documented widely in the literature. However, the concomitant occurrence of renovascular morphological anomalies with vascular compression phenomena in a single patient is a rarity. This is a case of a patient with double left renal arteries, preaortic, accessory and retroaortic left renal veins. There was also associated with vascular compression phenomena in the form of posterior nutcracker phenomenon and pelviureteric junction obstruction (PUJ) due to the double-crossing inferior left polar renal artery and retroaortic vein.
