Title was changed:
Thoracic origin of renal artery variant
Presentation was changed:
Incidental finding on female patient presented with delayed post hysterectomy-hysterectomy pelvic pain.
Age changed from 50 to 50 years.
Body was changed:

The main renal arteries arising above celiacthe coeliac axis is an uncommon finding.
