Evaluation of Renal vascular anatomical variations Using Multi-Detector Computerized Tomographic scan in Sudan, the total number of patients studied is 400, 202 (50.5%) male and 98 (49.5%) females, and their ages ranged between (3 -94) years. The types of Accessory renal arteries were 1.8% (7/24) upper pole, 1.8% (7/24) lower pole and 2.5% (10/24) hilus. In males, 4 upper pole, 4 lower pole and 7 hilus. In females, 3 upper pole, 3 lower pole and 3 hilus. The percentage of right accessory renal arteries is almost twice that of the left and more than twice the bilateral accessory arteries. Accessory renal artery is a common but a significant anatomical variant of the renal vascular system, due to their clinical importance. In our sample, the accessory renal artery presence was detected in 6% and displayed a greater variation on the right than the left side. Because this abnormality plays an important role in kidney transplantations, in radiological, vascular and urological interventions, a detailed presentation of accessory renal artery incidence was conducted, gathering from the literature a large number of relevant studies in order to create a classification according to population, gender, side and specimen. The study concluded that the renal arteries present a broad spectrum of variability in their morphological expression regarding their length, diameter and entrance to the kidney parenchyma, additional arteries' morphological expression was higher in men than women. This is statistically not significant and variation in the right side was found greater frequency than the left side.

“…Anatomical variations in the number and origin of the renal arteries were first reported by Bartholin (1665-1738) [1]. In approximately 25% -30% of individuals, more than one renal artery is present [2]. Different origin and variations of renal arteries are explained by the development of the mesonephric arteries.…”

Hydronephrosis describes a urinary tract abnormality where hydrostatic dilatation of the renal pelvis and calyces exists and considered as a hallmark for obstruction to urine flow downstream. Detecting the pathologic hydronephrosis cases along with the cause using the least invasive techniques is a matter of interest since ages especially in pediatric community. In the Iraqi healthcare practice, many cases are referred for advanced urology imaging tests without clear rational. This study aims to evaluate the rational of referring hydronephrosis pediatric cases to renal scintigraphy studies by comparing the results with the ultrasonography using particular parameters. A cross-sectional observational study involved prospective measurement of a number of variables via two main radiology techniques; sonography and scintigraphy was carried on in Baghdad, Iraq. Classical US and dynamic renal MAG-3 were performed on the same day for each of 35 children aged between 1-5 years presumed or suspected to have obstructive type of hydronephrosis by earlier US work-up. Results revealed a clear statistical significance between normal differential renal function and the good quality of renal drainage of Mag-3 test with the undilated PCS category (p-value 0.028) when measured by our team using the sonography technique. Other results of the calyceal dimension (CD) and the parenchymal thickness (PT) have failed to obtain a statistical significant difference when compared with the categories of the three variables of MAG-3. This study supports the inference of assessing renal function based on sensitive parameters of evolutionary sonography. Each radiologist/nephrologist/urologist should evaluate the measurement of reliable parameters of sonography especially the anteroposterior diameter of the pelvicalyceal system (APD of PCS) at the hilum area and the parenchymal thickness (PT) in millimeters and set the pediatric patient for logical follow-up before recommending the dynamic scintigraphy tests.
