Circumaortic right renal vein is an extremely rare finding and to our knowledge only 1 case has been reported in the literature so far. Its rareness, in contrast to left renal vein anomalies, is thought to be due to a relatively simple embryologic development of right renal vein compared with left renal vein. On the other hand, association of Circumaortic right renal vein with inferior vena cava agenesis and aortic coarctation is an extremely rare occurrence. Our aim is to introduce a case of Circumaortic right renal vein in a 3-month-old child with inferior vena cava agenesis and aortic coarctation. Discussion on the underlying embryology of Circumaortic right renal vein, its clinical importance and the association with other vascular anomalies, will be on our focus as well. Precise understanding of renal vein anomalies is important when planning retroperitoneal surgery or interventional vascular procedures. Awareness of such anomaly implies crucial knowledge for radiologists who should include it in the medical reports to aid future patient's management.
环绕主动脉的右肾静脉是一种极其罕见的情况，据我们所知，迄今为止文献中仅报道过1例。与左肾静脉异常相比，其罕见性被认为是由于右肾静脉的胚胎发育相对简单。另一方面，环绕主动脉的右肾静脉与下腔静脉发育不全和主动脉缩窄同时存在的情况极为罕见。我们的目的是介绍1例3个月大患有下腔静脉发育不全和主动脉缩窄的患儿出现环绕主动脉右肾静脉的病例。对环绕主动脉右肾静脉潜在胚胎学、其临床重要性以及与其他血管异常的关联的讨论也将是我们关注的重点。在规划腹膜后手术或介入性血管手术时，准确了解肾静脉异常很重要。认识到这种异常对放射科医生来说意味着至关重要的知识，他们应将其纳入医学报告以帮助未来对患者的管理。
