Thoracic origin of a single renal artery with a normal position of the kidney is a very rare anatomical variant with just a dozen cases depicted in the medical literature. In this case report we describe an incidental finding of a main renal artery arising from the thoracic aorta at the 11th thoracic vertebral level in an asymptomatic 57 year-old man in a routine computed tomography (CT) on follow-up for chronic pancreatitis.
单一发自正常位置肾脏的胸主动脉起源的肾动脉是一种非常罕见的解剖学变异，在医学文献中仅报道过十几例。在本病例报告中，我们描述了一例 57 岁无症状男性在因慢性胰腺炎进行常规 CT 随访时偶然发现的主肾动脉发自第 11 胸椎水平胸主动脉的病例。
