Description[edit | edit source]
The inferior gluteal artery is a terminal branch of the internal iliac artery supplying the gluteal and thigh regions. It is initially found in the pelvis after which it runs through the greater sciatic foramen to emerge into the gluteal region. [1]
Anatomy[edit | edit source]
The inferior gluteal artery passes downward between the second and the third sacral segments on the sacral plexus. Then the inferior gluteal artery exits the pelvic cavity via the infrapiriform foramen, and then ramifies within the gluteal region muscles.[2]
