Corona mortis
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Corona mortis, Latin for "crown of death", is a common variant vascular anastomosis between the external iliac artery or deep inferior epigastric artery with the obturator artery. It is reported to be present in a third of patient on routine multi-detector CT examination 1. Knowledge of this variant vascular anastomosis is critical for surgical planning, and in pelvic trauma as it is susceptible to vascular injury.2
