Variaciones en el patrón de ramificación de la arteria ilíaca interna son ocasionalmente encontradas en las disecciones cadavéricas y las cirugías. Algunas de las variaciones son de importancia quirúrgica y clínica e ignorarlas podría derivar en alarmantes sangrados durante las prácticas quirúrgicas. Evaluamos las variantes en el patrón de la arteria ilíaca interna en un cadáver masculino. La división de la arteria ilíaca interna dio origen a las arterias rectal media y obturatriz. La arteria vesical superior tenía su origen en la arteria obturatriz. La división posterior de la arteria ilíaca interna dio lugar a las arterias iliolumbar, sacra lateral, glútea superior y pudenda interna. La arteria glútea inferior estaba ausente.
Variations in the branching pattern of the internal iliac artery are occasionally encountered during cadaveric dissections and surgeries. Some of the variations are of surgical and clinical importance and ignoring them might result in alarming bleeding during surgical procedures. We report variant branching pattern of the right internal iliac artery in a male cadaveric specimen. The anterior division of the internal iliac artery gave origin to obturator and middle rectal arteries. Superior vesical artery took its origin from the obturator artery. The posterior division of the internal iliac artery gave iliolumbar, lateral sacral, superior gluteal and internal pudendal arteries. The inferior gluteal artery was absent.
