ABSTRACT: Internal Iliac Artery has a large territory of distribution like all pelvic viscera, Gluteal region and the posterior & antero medial compartments of thigh through its visceral and parietal branches. The rare variation in the branching pattern of posterior division of Internal Iliac Artery was noted during routine cadaveric dissection of pelvic region for first year medical undergraduates in a 60 year old male cadaver. Knowledge of the variations of Internal Iliac Artery may be of use to the radiologists and also to the surgeons to avoid accidental hemorrhage during pelvic surgeries.
