Abstract

PURPOSE: To study the appearance and incidence of left renal vein anomalies in abdominal CT examinations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One thousand and three abdominal CT examinations were reviewed retrospectively for the presence of left renal vein anomalies. Nineteen CT scans were excluded from the study because of technical or patientdependent factors. The course of the left renal vein was assessed on the CT slices to detect any anomalies. RESULTS: Left renal vein anomaly was detected in 32 (%3.2) of 984 cases. Twentythree (%2.3) of them were a retroaortic and 9 (%0.9) of them were a circumaortic left renal vein. CONCLUSION: It is important to detect left renal vein anomalies before retroperitoneal surgery or interventional procedures. These anomalies can be identified in routine abdominal CT examinations with a careful inspection.

Özet

AMAÇ Rutin abdomen BT incelemelerinde sol renal ven anomalilerinin görünümleri ve görülme sıklığının araştırılması. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM Toplam 1003 abdomen BT tetkiki retrospektif olarak sol renal ven anomalileri açısından incelendi. Ondokuz BT incelemesi teknik ya da hastaya ait nedenlerden dolayı çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Sol renal venin seyri ardışık BT kesitleri ile takip edilerek anomalileri araştırıldı. BULGULAR Çalışma kapsamındaki 984 olgunun 32’sinde (%3.2) sol renal ven anomalisi saptandı. Bunlardan 23 (%2.3)’ ü retroaortik, 9’u (%0.9) sirkumaortik renal ven anomalisi idi. SONUÇ Sol renal ven anomalilerinin, retroperitoneal cerrahi ve girişimsel işlemlerden önce tanımlanması önemlidir. Bu anomaliler dikkatli incelemeler ile rutin abdomen BT tetkiklerinde saptanabilir.
