Abstract

Variations of the testicular artery have been commonly described by many authors, although reports for accessory or double testicular arteries were scarce. The testicular vein displays a great variability as regards their numbers, courses, and sites of termination. We present here a single right testicular vein dividing into three trunks at the terminal drainage, and the bifurcated right testicular artery passed through the hiatus of the testicular vein.
