    BackgroundThe kidney is the organ of the human body with the most common congenital anomalies in either development or vascular supply. Although the presence of a second feeding artery arising from a different level of the aorta is not uncommon, the occurrence of a feeding renal artery arising from the contralateral common iliac artery is an infrequent finding.Case DescriptionWe present a case bearing significant abnormalities, including malrotation of the right kidney, the presence of two feeding arteries arising from very uncommon sites, and the presence of two main renal veins with anomalous drainage.ConclusionAwareness of such defects is essential in treatment planning in cases of endovascular surgery for abdominal aneurysm repair, as well as in cases of renal tumors where partial nephrectomy or embolization is contemplated or in the case of kidney transplantation.
