✦ Synopsis
To the Editor: I took interest in the article by Khamanarong et al. (2004) that presented "the incidence and characteristics of variations of renal arteries in Thais." The authors variously describe more than one renal artery as "multiple" (Gray, 1906;Geyer and Poutasse, 1962), "single hilar artery," "two hilar arteries," "double renal arteries," "triple renal arteries," "upper and lower polar artery" (Coen and Raftery, 1992), and "additional renal arteries" (Satyapal et al., 2001).
The literature is replete with a number of other varying names for this artery including "accessory"
