It was observed that one of the renal arteries was passing between the two roots of the renal vein. It was thought that the renal artery could be compressed by the renal vein, and this could prevent blood supply to a part of the kidney. Abnormal number of renal vessels in our case are discussed in the light of embryological data and literature findings. Keywords : Multiple renal arteries; renal artery; renal vein; variation
