Abstract:
We encountered some multiple vessel variations in the retropubic region of a 55-year-old male cadaver. The obturator artery had its origin from the external iliac artery, and inferior epigastric artery from the femoral artery. Additionally, an anastomosis between obturator and inferior epigastric veins (venous Crown of death) was observed.
