ABSTRACT
The gluteal region is an important anatomical and clinical area which contains muscles and vital neurovascular bundles. They are important for their clinical and morphological reasons. In this manuscript we report a rare case of absence of inferior gluteal artery. In the same specimen the superior gluteal artery was taking origin from the anterior division of internal iliac artery. The structures normally supplied by the inferior gluteal artery were supplied by a branch coming from the superior gluteal artery. The developmental and clinical significance of the anatomical variation is discussed.
RESUMEN
La región glútea es una importante área anatómica y clínica, la cual contiene músculos y vitales elementos neurovasculares. Estos últimos son importantes por razones clínicas y morfológicas. En este trabajo describimos un raro caso de ausencia de la arteria glútea inferior. Encontramos también que la arteria glútea superior tenía su origen en la división anterior de la arteria iliaca interna. Las estructuras irrigadas normalmente por la arteria glútea inferior estaban irrigadas por una rama que se originaba de la arteria glútea superior. Son discutidos el desarrollo y el significado clínico de esta variación anatómica.
