Abstract

Structural variations of the kidneys, ureters and the vessels are not uncommon. Whereas, during the routine dissection of the abdomen it was found that the left kidney had double ureter and they were fused at their termination with a single ureteric orifice in the interior of the urinary bladder. Apart from this variation, an aberrant accessory renal artery was also found on the left side close to the lower pole of the kidney. In our study of about 120 specimens observed in Anatomy Department from 2004 to 2012, this type of combination of variations was found only once, hence presented for its clinical importance.
