title: Bilateral multiple renal arteries.
abstract: Variations in the renal vessels and supernumerary renal arteries have been observed frequently, either in routine dissections or in clinical practice which warrants considerations in a variety of urologic, renal transplantation, laparoscopic surgeries and retroperitoneal operations. The variations of renal arteries are considered critical issues that surgeons should have thorough envision and appreciation of the condition. Renal artery variations including their number source and course are very common. But more than 6 renal arteries on either side is rare and we present a case of multiple renal arteries in an asymptomatic young hypertensive and to our knowledge it is the first of its kind reported in literature.
