%X Evaluation of Renal vascular anatomical variations Using Multi-Detector Computerized Tomographic scan in Sudan, the total number of patients studied is 400, 202 (50.5%) male and 98 (49.5%) females, and their ages ranged between (3 - 94) years. The types of Accessory renal arteries were 1.8% (7/24) upper pole, 1.8% (7/24) lower pole and 2.5% (10/24) hilus. In males, 4 upper pole, 4 lower pole and 7 hilus. In females, 3 upper pole, 3 lower pole and 3 hilus. The percentage of right accessory renal arteries is almost twice that of the left and more than twice the bilateral accessory arteries. Accessory renal artery is a common but a significant anatomical variant of the renal vascular system, due to their clinical importance. In our sample, the accessory renal artery presence was detected in 6% and displayed a greater variation on the right than the left side. Because this abnormality plays an important role in kidney transplantations, in radiological, vascular and urological interventions, a detailed presentation of accessory renal artery incidence was conducted, gathering from the literature a large number of relevant studies in order to create a classification according to population, gender, side and specimen. The study concluded that the renal arteries present a broad spectrum of variability in their morphological expression regarding their length, diameter and entrance to the kidney parenchyma, additional arteries¡¯ morphological expression was higher in men than women. This is statistically not significant and variation in the right side was found greater frequency than the left side.
