Abstract:

Inferior gluteal artery is the greatest branch of interior trunk of internal iliac artery that supplies the gluteal region and posterior of thigh. This artery emerges from inferior border of piriformis and descends toward the thigh deep to the gluteus maximus muscle. Several variations have been reported about inferior gluteal artery. In this case, the artery has emerged from superior border of pirifomis muscle and entered the gluteal region.

Blunt injury to the inferior gluteal artery: case report of a rare "near miss" event

Traumatic injuries of the inferior gluteal artery are rare, the majority of which are aneurysms due to sharp or blunt trauma. We report the rare case of a "near miss" event of a patient with an acute hemorrhagic mass in the right buttock caused by blunt trauma to the inferior gluteal artery without "hard" clinical signs of vascular injury. Despite the unusual presentation, diffuse injury of the...

A Rare Variation in Branching Pattern of the Internal Iliac Artery: A Case Report

Internal iliac artery (IIA) shows frequent variations in its branching pattern. We saw variations in the branching pattern of right IIA in a male cadaver. The IIA divided into anterior and posterior divisions. The branches of the anterior division included umbilical artery, inferior vesical artery, obturator artery. The other branches arose from posterior trunk such as iliolumbar, lateral s...

Paper: A Case Report of a Rare Variation in Arising Branches of Brachial Artery

Variations in the arterial pattern of the upper limb are abundant and diverse and have been observed frequently either in cadaver dissection or in clinical practice and reports. In the most of these reports, radial or ulnar arteries were commonly involved, which can be damaged during surgical procedures. This report presents a case of a rare variation in arising branches of brachial artery. Dur...

Case Report: A Rare Variation in Origin of Common Interosseous Artery: A Review of Anatomical Studies and Case Report

An unusual origin of the common interosseous artery is reported in the paper. During educational dissection of a 37-year-old male, a rare variation in the origin of common interosseous artery of the right upper limb was observed. The common interosseous artery directly separated from radial artery. The right anterior interosseous artery is continued from common interosseous artery. Anterior and...

Report of a Novel Bilateral Variation of Sciatic and Inferior Gluteal Nerve

Sciatic nerve is the thickest nerve of the sacral plexus, which innervates many muscles and vast areas of the skin of the lower limb. It leaves the pelvis via the greater sciatic foramen, emerges into the gluteal region by passing under the piriformis muscle, and descends beneath the gluteus maximus to divide into its terminal branches: tibial and common peroneal nerve at the superior angle of ...
