We present an extremely rare vascular variation in which the accessory left renal vein (LRV) draining the lower pole of the left kidney drains into the left ovarian vein (LOV). A 35-year-old woman underwent a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen with the clinical symptom of abdominal pain. Unexpectedly, an accessory LRV draining into the LOV was noted. Otherwise, the CT scan was unremarkable. Here we report a case of an accessory LRV draining into the LOV which has not been previously reported in the literature. Recognition and reporting of this anatomic variation is of paramount importance before the surgical or endovascular procedures involving the left kidney, left ovary, and retroperitoneum.
我们呈现一种极为罕见的血管变异情况，即引流左肾下极的副左肾静脉（LRV）汇入左卵巢静脉（LOV）。一名35岁女性因腹痛症状接受了腹部增强计算机断层扫描（CT）。意外发现一条副LRV汇入LOV。除此之外，CT扫描未见异常。在此我们报告一例副LRV汇入LOV的病例，此前文献中未曾报道过。在涉及左肾、左卵巢及腹膜后的手术或血管内操作之前，识别并报告这种解剖变异至关重要。
