OBJECTIVE: To report a case of the right ovarian artery arising from the right inferior phrenic artery. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The authors carried out the standard dissection survey of 810 embalmed female cadavers between 1983 and 2010. RESULTS: The authors encountered a case of the right ovarian artery arising from the right inferior phrenic artery in a donated cadaver aged 53 years at decease. CONCLUSION: With the advent of intra-abdominal laparoscopic techniques, the anatomy of the ovarian artery has assumed much more importance.
