Abstract

32 years-old female patient presented with lumbar pain. Computed tomography revealed varicosity of the communicating vein between the left renal vein and the left ascending lumbar vein. This entity may pose technical difficulties during aortoiliac surgeries and renal surgeries as iatrogenic injury of this vessel may cause life- -threatening retroperitoneal hemorrhage.
