In a 42 year-old male cadaver, the left testicular artery was found to originate from the anterior surface of the abdominal aorta at the level of origin of the left renal artery. It ran parallel and just inferior to the left renal artery and gave off a branch which supplied the left suprarenal gland. The course, relations and branching of this suprarenal branch differed from the very rare cases found in the literature. Awareness of the possible existence of such variations of the testicular arteries is of great importance during surgical procedures.
在一具42岁男性尸体中,发现左睾丸动脉起源于腹主动脉前表面,位于左肾动脉起始水平。它与左肾动脉平行且恰好在其下方走行,并发出一支供应左肾上腺。这支肾上腺分支的走行、毗邻关系及分支情况与文献中报道的极罕见病例不同。在外科手术过程中,意识到睾丸动脉可能存在此类变异非常重要。
