The testicular artery is frequently subjected to radiographic imaging techniques such as angiography for diagnosis and treatment of conditions like epididymitis, testicular torsion, tumor, hematoma, and hydrocele and in cases of undescended testis. Radiologists and surgeons should therefore be aware of testicular artery variants. Although there are numerous studies and case reports that mention testicular artery variants, this is probably the first case, reporting a bilateral low origin of the testicular artery and discussing its probable embryological etiology.
睾丸动脉经常接受诸如血管造影等放射成像技术检查,用于诊断和治疗附睾炎、睾丸扭转、肿瘤、血肿、鞘膜积液等病症以及隐睾病例。因此,放射科医生和外科医生应了解睾丸动脉变异情况。尽管有许多研究和病例报告提及睾丸动脉变异,但这可能是首例报告双侧睾丸动脉低位起源并探讨其可能胚胎学病因的病例。
