ABSTRACT
An abnormal artery arising from external iliac artery was found during routine dissection class for medical undergraduates. The artery took its origin from the external iliac artery midway between its origin from common iliac and termination as femoral artery. The abnormal artery divided into two branches; an ascending and a descending. The ascending branch supplied iliacus and iliac crest. The descending branch entered the femoral triangle by passing behind the femoral sheath. It supplied the muscles of femoral triangle and anastomosed with medial circumflex femoral artery. The knowledge of this variation may be of use for surgeons doing surgery of femoral hernia.
RESUMEN
Una variación arterial proveniente de la arteria ilíaca externa fue encontrada durante una disección de rutina en Medicina de pregrado. La arteria se originaba de la arteria ilíaca externa a mitad de camino entre su origen desde la arteria ilíaca común y su terminación, la arteria femoral. La arteria se dividía en dos ramas ascendente y descendente. La rama ascendente suministraba la irrigación al músculo ilíaco y a la cresta ilíaca. La rama descendente entraba en el trígono femoral pasando por detrás de la vaina femoral y daba la irrigación a los músculos del trígono femoral, anastomosándose con la arteria circunfleja femoral medial. El conocimiento de esta variación puede ser de utilidad para los cirujanos que realizan cirugía de hernia femoral.
