Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm in association with duplication of the inferior vena cava and crossed renal ectopia is described for the first time. Preoperative imaging with computer‐aided tomography provided good visualization of the local anatomy, allowing the surgical approach to be adapted for the best access to the surgical site. A retroperitoneal approach was successfully used for repair of the abdominal aortic aneurysm. Clin. Anat. 16:355–357, 2003. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
