Introduction: Variations of renal vessels are more significant due to gradual increase in interventional radiological procedures, urological and vascular operations and renal transplantation. Usually, the renal arteries take origin from the lateral aspect of aorta below the origin of superior mesenteric artery at the level of L2 vertebra. During routine dissection of 60-year-old female cadaver, we found double renal arteries with double renal veins for the right kidney and in the left kidney, there were double renal arteries and two renal veins coming out from the hilum and they joined to form the main left renal vein, which passed in front of the aorta. The incidences of variation of renal arteries are about 30%. Knowledge of the unusual variations of the renal arteries is necessary for selection of kidney donor as well as during nephrectomy and segmental resection and could help the clinician in its prior recognition and due protection accordingly during renal surgeries.
