Abstract

Circumaortic left renal vein with additional retroaortic limb is a rare anatomic variant. We encountered two cases in our practice with additional retroaortic limb draining into hemiazygos and IVC respectively. We focus on discussing the clinical relevance and surgical implications of such variants.
