Abstract
|
|
|
|
A CT scan of a 49-year-old female incidentally revealed a tortuous vascular structure in the right suprarenal space. According to angiographic evaluation of the right renal vessels, the right renal artery was single with normal diameter, and there was no venous drainage through the main right renal vein (orthotopic renal vein). The venous drainage of the right kidney flowed through the tortuous suprarenal vascular structure into the inferior vena cava. The color Doppler ultrasound revealed the monophasic waveform in that vascular structure without flow disturbance. The renal function and the result of urinalysis of the patient were normal, and any other congenital malformation was not found. Absence of the orthotopic renal vein and aberrant suprarenal venous drainage is a very rare congenital anomaly, and it should be discriminated from the other pathologic conditions.
