An Anomalous Pelvic Branch from Obturator Artery: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Original variations of obturator artery are reported in the previous literature but anomalous branching pattern of obturator artery in the pelvic cavity is not reported in particular. During routine dissection for the medical undergraduates at ESIC Medical College & PGIMSR, Chennai, INDIA, we observed anomalous pelvic branch arising from the obturator artery unilaterally on the right side of a female cadaver. Anomalous branch arising from the obturator artery in the pelvis unilaterally and terminating at the pelvic brim observed in our report is very important because its termination at pelvic brim may cause serious complications during femoral ring surgical procedures. Supported literature is not available on the anomalous branching pattern from the obturator artery in the pelvic cavity. Keywords: Anomalous, Obturator artery, Pelvic branch.
