Abstract
Variations in renal arteries are common due its complicated development, ascent and rotation. Estachius first
described a case of multiple renal arteries in 1552. These arteries frequent at the inferior pole rather than the
superior pole of kidneys. Additional renal arteries may or may not be associated with the congenital
malformations of the kidneys. We report a unique asymmetrical bilateral variation of renal artery with right
sided early division and left sided accessory/ additional arteries. It is not associated with any other anomaly of
kidneys. All of these branches entered the kidney through the hilum. This observation
has clinical relevance
for surgery, imaging, interventional
radiological procedures as well as other diseases of kidney. Since renal
arteries are end arteries; early branches and multiple arteries need to be attended individually during renal
transplantation surgeries for better outcome.
