“…Variants were noticed in 4.7 percent of cases in a study of 150 cadavers. 5 Another study of 90 fetuses revealed a frequency of 8.8 percent. 6 In another case, Onderoglu et al reported the case of a high origin of the right TA located at the level of the right renal artery lineage.…”

High origin of left testicular artery associated with accessory renal artery and renal cyst; a cadaveric observation

2013

The variation in origin of the testicular artery is not uncommon, few reports about a high origin from the abdominal aorta exist in the literature. The renal artery is known to exhibit variations in its number and position. The knowledge of this variation will help the radiologists and surgeons in avoiding clinical complication during interventions. During routine dissection teaching to first year MBBS students at Sapthagiri Medical College, Bangalore we found variation in vascular pattern of testicular and renal artery associated with renal cyst. Photographs of the variations were taken. There was high origin of left testicular artery and accessory left renal artery associated with bilateral simple renal cyst in adult Male cadaver aged around 60years.There was also prehilar division of right renal artery associated with renal cyst. Anomalies in the origin, course and number of testicular artery were observed in 4.7 percent of cases. Additional renal vessels are known as the accessory renal artery and their incidence varies between 9-76%. In the present case there was high origin of left testicular artery associated with accessory renal artery and renal cyst. This anatomical knowledge of the presence of accessory renal artery and high origin of testicular artery in this case is important for radiologists, surgeons and urologist in their clinical practice.

A Cadaveric Study about the Anomolous Origin of Testicular Arteries Arising from the Accessory Renal Arteries

Testicular arteries are paired vessels, arising from the abdominal aorta, at the level of second lumbar vertebra. Variations in the origin of these vessels highlight a potential importance regarding the vascular supply to the gonads and kidneys. This study was designed to assess the variations in the origin, course, and distance about the point of origin of the testicular arteries. The posterior abdominal walls of 40 male cadavers were studied on either side, during routine dissection in the Department of Anatomy, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal. A majority had a normal course and the variations were reported as: a) Bilateral origin of gonadal arteries from accessory renal arteries, b) Unilateral origin of the gonadal artery from the left accessory renal artery, and c) Unique origin of the right testicular artery from the right inferior epigastric artery and left testicular artery from descending thoracic aorta above the aortic opening of the diaphragm. Due to the embryological attribution, these variations in the testicular arteries indicate an alarming threat to the radiologists and surgeons during renal transplants and nephrectomies, as these vessels monopolize the vascular supply to the gonads. This study was undertaken to document the incidence of testicular arteries originating from accessory renal arteries.

“…The venous blood from the testis is drained through the pampiniform plexus of veins which condense to form four veins at the superficial inguinal ring, two veins at the deep inguinal ring and one testicular vein at variable levels [1]. On the right side, gonadal vein drain into inferior vene cava, and on left side into renal vein [2].…”

Duplication of right testicular vein was noted in a male cadaver during routine dissection for undergraduate students in Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh. After duplication, medial vein was draining into inferior vena cava and lateral vein into right renal vein [Table/ Fig-1] whereas on left side, gonadal vein was draining into left renal vein. Medial RTV (right testicular vein) was bifurcating into two before draining into IVC on its anterior aspect. The medial RTV was also seen lying anterior to IVC. The right ureter can be seen crossing anterior to IVC and posterior to medial RTV and then descending on the left side of IVC. Normally the right ureter lies lateral to (on the right side of) IVC. DisCussionThe venous blood from the testis is drained through the pampiniform plexus of veins which condense to form four veins at the superficial inguinal ring, two veins at the deep inguinal ring and one testicular vein at variable levels [1]
