Abstract

We report the case of a 73-year-old male who underwent abdominal multidetector computed tomography with vascular reconstruction that highlighted a congenital variant of iliac arteries. Iliac artery anatomical variants are exceedingly rare and only a few cases have been reported in the literature.
