The inferior supernumerary renal arteries: a classification into three types.

Published: January 2006

Among cases that had multiple renal arteries on one side, an inferior supernumerary renal artery was found in 24/270 cases (ca. 9%) on the right and in 19/270 cases (ca. 7%) on the left, together with the usual renal artery. We have noticed that there are correlations between their levels of origin from the aorta and their positional relation to the ureter and the inferior vena cava (IVC). An inferior supernumerary renal artery (InfRA) of lower origin passes in front of the IVC and behind the ureter. An InfRA of middle origin passes in front of both the IVC and the ureter. An InfRA of upper origin passes behind the IVC and in front of the ureter or renal pelvis. In addition there was a tendency for the lower origin type to have an ureteric branch, while the middle and upper origin types had a gonadal branch. These findings suggest that different derivations lead to the inferior supernumerary renal arteries.

C1q/TNF-related protein 14 (CTRP14), also known as C1q-like 1 (C1QL1), is a synaptic protein predominantly expressed in the brain. It plays a critical role in the formation and maintenance of the climbing fiber-Purkinje cell synapses, ensuring that only one single winning climbing fiber from the inferior olivary neuron synapses with the proximal dendrites of Purkinje cells during the early postnatal period. Loss of CTRP14/C1QL1 results in incomplete elimination of supernumerary climbing fibers, leading to multiple persistent climbing fibers synapsing with the Purkinje cells.

Two unique presentations of renal anatomy were observed during routine cadaveric dissection. The first case presented with an ectopic malrotated left kidney supplied by supernumerary renal arteries. This kidney was drained by a circumaortic renal vein and an inferior polar vein.

Article Synopsis
  • Supernumerary teeth are additional teeth that can appear anywhere in the mouth and may cause swelling; this case highlights a rare instance of one found in the horizontal plate of the palatine bone.
  • A 10-year-old boy presented with a bony hard swelling in his palate, which was confirmed via a CT scan to be an impacted supernumerary tooth that was successfully extracted through surgery.
  • The case underscores the importance of considering impacted supernumerary teeth in the diagnosis of oral swellings, particularly in the posterior hard palate.

Intracortical myelin across laminae in adult individuals with 47,XXX: a 7 Tesla MRI study.

47,XXX (Triple X syndrome) is a sex chromosome aneuploidy characterized by the presence of a supernumerary X chromosome in affected females and is associated with a variable cognitive, behavioral, and psychiatric phenotype. The effect of a supernumerary X chromosome in affected females on intracortical microstructure is currently unknown. Therefore, we conducted 7 Tesla structural MRI and compared T1 (ms), as a proxy for intracortical myelin (ICM), across laminae of 21 adult women with 47,XXX and 22 age-matched typically developing females using laminar analyses.
