Özet
During the dissection of a 60-year-old male cadaver, a persistent mesonephric artery was encountered in the abdominal region. It originated in the anterolateral aspect of the abdominal aorta and crossed behind the left testicular artery and ran upward to the renal hilum. The lateral mesonephric arteries give rise to renal arteries. If one of the lateral mesonephric arteries, in addition to the main renal artery, persists, then the result is an accessory renal artery. This anomaly may be important in surgical procedures related to the abdomen, such as renal transplantation, abdominal aortic aneurysm, ureter surgery, and vascular pedicles of the kidney and in angiographic interventions.
