The left renal vein is one of the direct tributaries of the inferior vena cava and it crosses in front of the abdominal aorta to drain into it.Normally, the left renal vein receives the left suprarenal and left gonadal veins as its tributaries along with the veins from the left kidney.During routine dissection,in about 60-year-old male cadaver we observed a rare variation of double left renal veins;a superficial and a deep,which were forming a venous collar around the abdominal aorta.
