Abstract: Vascular variations in the pelvic and abdominal arterial system are recurrent in the population. Among them,Corona Mortis occurs in 10 to 40% of the population and is defined as the arterial or venous anastomosisbetween the obturator and inferior epigastric arteries. Patients with this anatomical variation are susceptibleto hemorrhage during surgeries or fractures in the inguinal canal region. During the routine dissectionprocess of the pelvic region, we observed the bilateral presence of corona mortis arteries and a coronamortis vein on the right side in a female cadaver. On the right side we found a combination of pure coronamortis artery and vein, with the absence of the obturator artery; and on the left side we observed a purecorona mortis artery, also with the absence of the obturator artery, with a single difference that makes ourcase rarer. On this side we observed the corona mortis artery originating in a common trunk with the inferiorepigastric artery coming from the external iliac artery. Clinicians and surgeons must be familiar with thepresence of possible variations in the expected vascular anatomy. This knowledge is essential to obtain amore accurate diagnosis and to avoid surprises in surgical procedures in the pelvic region and especially inthe inguinal canal.
