AbstractMost commonly, the Obturator artery arises from the anterior trunk of internal iliac artery. However, origin of the Obturator artery from external iliac artery was reported at 25% by Missankov et al. [3], 1.1% by Bergman et al. [1], 1.3% by Jakubowicz and Czerniawska- Grzesinska [2].Due to its high frequency of variations in course and origin, Obturator artery had drawn the attention of anatomists, surgeons and radiologists. In this case report, we are presenting an anomalous origin of right Obturator artery from right external iliac artery. The knowledge of this variation is important anatomically, radiologically and surgically.
