The artery of Seshachalam is the name for the accessory appendicular artery. It is a branch of the posterior caecal artery which arises from the iliocolic artery, and runs in the mesocolonmesoappendix.
The exact prevalence of this accessory artery and its impact upon the risk of appendicitis varies among studies.
Interestingly, it is the only anatomical structure named after an Indian (after Dr. T. Sheshachalam who described it).
