Abstract
Origin of the Testicular Artery variations were found during routine dissection of abdomen of the middle aged
cadaver in the Dept of Anatomy, Govt. Medical College Jammu. On the left side there were two renal arteries,
One of them was the main Renal artery which was originating from the anterolateral aspect of abdominal aorta
and running to the hilum of the kidney in front of the renal vein The other was the Accessory Renal artery
which was originating from anterolateral aspect of aorta 5mm above origin of main renal artery and going to
the upper pole of the kidney. The origin of accessory renal artery and main renal artery was 4.2 and 9.2mm
below the level of origin of superior mesentric artery. The left testicular artery was originating from the accessory
renal artery and crossing the renal artery and the renal vein anteriorly before following its usual course in
the posterior abdominal wall. Only one renal artery was seen on the right side arising from the anterolateral
aspect of aorta. The right testicular artery originated 52mm below the origin of right renal artery and followed
its normal course This anomaly is explained by embryological development of both kidneys and gonads from
intermediate mesoderm of mesonephric crest. Further the vasculature of kidneys and gonads is derived from
lateral mesonephric branches of dorsal aorta .Even though the condition presents as a silent renal anomaly
(Undiagnosed throughout life and revealed only on autopsy) the surgical implications are noteworthy, which
too have been highlighted in this report.
