Duplicated Right Testicular Artery: A Cadaveric Case Report and Review of the Literature

右侧睾丸动脉重复畸形:一例尸体解剖病例报告及文献综述

Abstract

The testicular artery usually arises as a single branch from the abdominal aorta. Anatomical variations, including duplication, are rare but clinically relevant in urological, vascular, and radiological practices. During routine cadaveric dissections, two male specimens were found to have duplicated right testicular arteries. Each specimen exhibited two distinct arterial branches originating directly from the abdominal aorta, descending independently within the spermatic cord. No associated renal or ureteral anomalies were identified. Duplication of the testicular artery has been documented in anatomical studies and, when present, is most commonly observed on the right side. Embryologically, this anomaly is attributed to the persistence of one or more mesonephric arteries that normally regress during development. Although often asymptomatic, recognition of this variation is essential in orchiectomy, varicocelectomy, renal transplantation, and interventional radiology to prevent inadvertent ischemic injury. This case report highlights duplicated right testicular arteries observed in two different cadavers, emphasizing the importance of awareness of vascular variations in surgical and radiological practice.
