Adrenal vein development in utero occurs concurrently with the development of the inferior vena cava, the renal veins, and the gonadal veins. The embryologic formation of these veins involves communication of various venous systems. Although the left adrenal-renal vein complex is most commonly described as a shared emptying of the left adrenal vein and the left inferior phrenic vein into the left renal vein, there have been reports of numerous anatomic variations of this complex. In this report, we present a case of a rare variant of the left adrenal vein, in which the left adrenal vein empties into the left gonadal vein, which takes an atypical course superolateral to the left kidney.
子宫内肾上腺静脉的发育与下腔静脉、肾静脉和性腺静脉的发育同时发生。这些静脉的胚胎形成涉及各种静脉系统的连通。虽然左肾上腺 - 肾静脉复合体最常被描述为左肾上腺静脉和左下膈静脉共同汇入左肾静脉，但已有关于该复合体众多解剖变异的报道。在本报告中，我们呈现了一例罕见的左肾上腺静脉变异病例，其中左肾上腺静脉汇入左性腺静脉，且该左性腺静脉走行于左肾上方外侧的非典型路径。
