“…Furthermore, we cannot exclude that in some of the cases described as “absence of the main renal vein” [3] , [4] , [5] , the vein was markedly hypoplastic, as in our case, but it was overlooked because of technical limits of the scanner employed in the CT studies.…”

“…Lastly, Kim et al [4] reported a case of absence of the right main renal vein with venous drainage starting from kidney hilar region and draining into an aberrant right adrenal gland venous plexus. Also in this case, any fibrous band or remnant stalk was not observed at the expected level of the renal vein.…”

“…Usually, it is clinically silent and can be incidentally detected by imaging performed for other reasons [2] . On the other hand, the absence of the right renal vein (with normal kidney) is a very rare condition; only 3 cases were previously reported [3] , [4] , [5] .

The objective of this study was to describe a case of marked hypoplasia of the right renal vein with drainage into ipsilateral gonadal vein. A 66-year-old man, known for hypertension and previous smoking, underwent an abdominal ultrasound exam, which detected a juxtarenal aortic aneurysm. Computed tomography scan confirmed the presence of the aortic aneurysm; furthermore it showed an abnormal right kidney venous drainage consistent in a dilated and tortuous vein, which originated at the hilar region, heading caudally and joining the right spermatic vein at level of aortic carrefour. A thin vein—located more cranially with mild and late contrast enhancement—was also demonstrated from right kidney hilum to inferior vena cava, probably representing a remnant of the right main renal vein. To our knowledge, this anatomic variant was never reported in the peer-reviewed literature.

Absent Right Renal Vein: A Case Report

Introduction: Absent right renal vein is very uncommon. This study aimed to describe a case of the absent right renal vein with drainage from the upper pole of the kidney into the right suprarenal vein and then into the ipsilateral gonadal vein. Case Presentation: A 25-year-old female patient with abdominal pain was referred to the radiology clinic for abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) with oral and intravenous contrast. On CT images, the right renal vein was absent. The drainage of the right kidney was through the upper pole to the suprarenal vein and thereafter to the right gonadal vein and the inferior vena cava (IVC). Some suprarenal veins were drained to the superior mesenteric vein via collaterals. The IVC diameter, especially the intrahepatic portion, was decreased. Conclusions: The absence of the right renal vein is very rare, and to the best of our knowledge, drainage from the upper pole into the ipsilateral gonadal vein has not been previously reported in the literature.
