Introduction: Renal vascular anatomy can be of various variants. These variants are rare and are of clinical importance predominantly in abdominal and retroperitoneal surgeries. Imaging plays an important role in diagnosis of these variants aiding in surgeries. We report a case of 27-year-old male patient with vague abdominal pain, referred for a contrast enhanced MDCT where incidentally two renal veins draining the left kidney into the inferior vena cava was found on contrast study suggesting a circumaortic left renal vein. It is of clinical significance, mainly during retroperitoneal surgeries, renal transplantations and intra caval interventions. We present this case since it is a relatively rare condition which can result in Left Renal Vein Hypertension (LRVH) syndrome.
