The internal iliac vein (IIV) collects the venous blood from the pelvic organs, perineum and the gluteal region. Its tributaries correspond to the branches of the IIA, except for the iliolumbar vein. The iliolumbar vein drains into the external iliac vein. The variations in the pattern of formation of the IIV are relatively rare. The IIV may form an annulus around the IIA or it may re- ceive an unusual vessel representing a confluence of the internal pudendal, obturator, gluteal, and sciatic veins [6]. Here we present the variation in the formation and termination of the IIV. Case Report Figure 2.

Its posterior divi- sion ascended in front of the ventral rami of sacral spi- nal nerves, and the anterior division ascended parallel to the lumbosacral trunk (Figure 2). Discussion The IIA is known to show some variations in its branching pattern and the knowledge of these varia- tions is of utmost importance for the surgeons per- forming obstetric and gynecological surgeries. Knowl- edge of the branching pattern of this artery is pivotal in pelvic surgeries because erroneous interpretation and ligation of its branches are the sources of unexpected bleeding during the surgery. The percentage of success- ful ligation of its branches varies from 42–75% [7,8]. Figure 1.
