Huge Trombus including Left Renal Vein, Ovarian Vein, and Inferior Vena Cava Mimicking Renal Colic

A case of bilateral double renal veins

Introduction The large renal veins lie anterior to the renal arteries and open into the inferior vena cava almost at right angles. The left is three times of the right in length (7.5 cm and 2.5 cm). The left renal vein runs from its origin in the renal hilum, posterior to the splenic vein and the body of pancreas, and then across the anterior aspect of aorta.

Case Report: Circumaortic Left Renal Vein

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...

The Importance of Venous and Renal Anomalies for Surgical Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

The most frequent anomalies than can complicate abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) repair are: Major venous anomalies: Renal vein anomalies: Retroaortic left renal vein type I or II. Circumaortic left renal vein. Inferior cava vein anomalies: Left-sided inferior vena cava or cava vein transposition Double inferior vena cava: type I, II or III, right double cava. Marsupial cava or preaortic iliac ...

Unique Nutcracker Phenomenon Involving the Right Renal Artery and Portal Venous System

The nutcracker phenomenon is usually caused by compression of the left renal vein by the superior mesenteric artery anteriorly and the aorta posteriorly, although variations of this anatomy have previously been reported. We observed a nutcracker phenomenon in a 42-year-old female who underwent portal venous phase computed tomography of the body for oncologic workup. She had no documented protei...
