Abstract

A sound knowledge of variations of blood vessels is important during operative diagnostic and endovascular procedures in the abdomen. This report describes the origin of right testicular artery from the renal artery and the origin of accessory right inferior suprarenal artery from the right testicular artery in a 60 year old male cadaver. A knowledge of the variant origin of the testicular artery is important during renal and testicular surgery. The origin and course must be carefully identified in order to preserve normal blood circulation and prevent testicular atrophy. A reduction in gonadal blood flow may lead to varicocele under circumstances. A knowledge of this variant anatomy may be of interest to radiologists and helpful in avoiding diagnostic errors.

Keywords: Renal artery; Suprarenal artery; Testicular artery; Varicocele.
