Urinary system anomalies are cases that can be encountered in the clinic. In the anatomy laboratory, we observed that a different vessel was separated from the aortic bifurcation during routine dissection. As a result of the vascular follow-up, we determined that the male cadaver had a pelvic localized ectopic kidney.

It is usually discovered incidentally by color doppler carotid sonography, angiography, computerized tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging of the head and neck region taken for some other reasons. The aim of this study was to detect congenital ICA anomalies, to delineate existing collateral vessels and to find out its incidence.

Materials And Methods: In the study, descriptive measurements of intercarotid distance on the computed tomography of 173 (88 male [M], 85 female [F]) pa- tients and the intercavernous distance on magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of 49 (19 M, 30 F) individuals were reviewed.
Results: Intercarotid distance was found to be close to the border of statistical significance and for results of the comparative measurements that were per- formed in the study; no significant sex-associated difference was observed for the distance between the gender and midpoint of the sella turcica and medial margin of the right ICA.
