The variants of left suprarenal vein is approximately 3% in the Western countries. There is limited data on incidence and types of left suprarenal vein variants in Thais. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of suprarenal vein variants in Thai cadavers. We evaluated suprarenal veins of 175 cadavers at Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University. Out of 175 cadavers, 4 cadavers had double left suprarenal veins (2.29%). Both tributaries drained into the left renal.
