Sažetak
Introduction. Anatomical variations of the origin and topography of abdominal blood vessels are very common and well described in the current literature. Among vascular variations, the gonadal arteries show frequent variations (accessory testicular artery, testicular artery which originates from multiple renal arteries, double renal and testicular arteries etc.). Material and methods. During dissection of the male specimen we found renal and testicular arteries variations. Results. In one specimen we found variant position of the left testicular artery and variant origin of the right testicular artery along with double right renal arteries. The left testicular artery arises from the abdominal aorta, ascends behind the left renal vein and crosses over the left renal vein. On the right side, two renal arteries were found. Higher renal artery has regular position, while lower renal artery has smaller diameter (caliber) and behind vena cava inferior, testicular artery arises from it. Conclusion. The left testicular artery is crossing over the left renal vain, which could be considered in cases of clinical symptoms that correspond to "nutcracker" syndrome (compression of the left renal vein between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery). We think that described anatomical variation of the left testicular artery could be related to symptoms such are: obstruction of left renal vein outflow, venous hypertension with the gonadal vein stasis, varicocele, pelvic venous congestion, dyspareunia, dysuria, dysmenorrhea and left flank pain with radiation to the left gluteal region. Described anatomical variations should be considered in medical practice, especially during diagnostic and surgical procedures.
