The presence of an accessory obturator artery was described in May literature; this variant has clinical implications in surgical operations and interventional radiology. During a routine dissection of the deep structures in the pelvic region of a 60-year-old male cadaver in the laboratory of the Department of Anatomy at the National University in Khartoum, Sudan, anatomical variation was discovered on the right side of the pelvic wall: an accessory artery and vein were traversing the right obturator canal. The right accessory obturator artery emerges from the right inferior epigastric artery and descends to join the main right obturater artery; also, the associated right accessory vein was terminated into the right obturator vein. The obturator vessels exhibited a normal path of origin. Awareness of such variations is critical when performing surgical procedures.
