Study of Branching Pattern of Pelvic Artery
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anatomy - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Vascular variations have always been a subject of controversy as well as curiosity, because of their clinical significance. Pelvic arteries are the arteries supplying the lesser pelvis i.e. walls of pelvis and pelvic organs. The major neurovascular structures of pelvis lie extraperitoneally against the posterolateral walls. The nerves lie most external or superficial (adjacent to the walls), with the vascular structures internal or deep (medial) to them. Generally, the veins are external (lateral) to the arteries. So study of pelvic artery i.e. internal iliac artery was done. Cadavers of both the sexes were dissected. Pelvic artery or internal iliac artery showed variable branching pattern like, obturator artery taking origin from posterior division of internal iliac artery or arising from external iliac artery, inferior vesical artery arising from obturator artery, middle rectal artery originating from other branches of internal iliac artery, common stem was found for internal pudendal and inferior gluteal arteries, even variable pattern of branches of posterior division of internal iliac artery were observed. All the variations were photographed, tabulated and discussed.
