Aim: The present study has been taken up to observe the branching pattern of internal iliac artery and its importance for the clinicians in their respective fields. Methodology: 45 pelvic halves were studied from dissected cadavers. The branches of gluteal arteries were traced carefully by separating the connective tissue surrounding the arteries. Result: In 4 cadavers, inferior gluteal artery was given off in the gluteal region, in 1 case it is given off from posterior division of internal iliac artery. In 1 case superior gluteal arose in common with internal pudendal artery. Conclusion: Vascular variations in the gluteal region are important for surgeons and anatomists.
