Popis:	Obturator artery is a medium-calibre parietal branch of internal iliac artery having wide variations in its origin. Since there was no previous investigation of variations of origin of obturator artery in a large series of eastern Indian subjects, it was decided to undertake this study. 56 pelvic halves from formaldehyde preserved cadavers were dissected in Calcutta National Medical College, Kolkata and B.S. Medical College, Bankura over a period of 3 years. Obturator artery originated in maximum number (44.6%) of cases from the anterior division of the internal iliac artery, the next common site (23.2%) being the inferior epigastric artery. Relatively late appearance of the obturator artery amongst the branches of internal iliac artery is most likely to be the cause of such a wide variation.
