Abstract

Knowledge of anomalous arteries to the suprarenal gland (SRG) is significant for surgeons and intervention radiologists. These variations cannot be ignored. During routine dissection in male cadaver, following variations were noted.

On the right side, Superior suprarenal artery (SSR) originated from inferior phrenic artery (IPA) which was direct branch from celiac trunk (CT). This inferior phrenic artery gives branch to left supra renal gland, it also gives branches to diaphragm (accessory inferior phrenic artery). Inferior suprarenal artery (ISR) taking origin from right (RA), after this it trifurcates, superior and middle polar arteries gives accessory branches to suprarenal renal gland. On the left side, superior suprarenal artery was branch from inferior phrenic artery which was a direct branch of celiac trunk, along with accessory branch from right inferior phrenic artery which was discussed earlier. Inferior suprarenal artery originates from left renal artery.

 

Key words: suprarenal arterial variations, Inferior phrenic artery, celiac trunk, unusual origin of superior suprarenal artery.
