Abstract
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.
