Abstract

Out of total twenty-one cadavers studied, in a 62 years old male donated cadaver, we found the Right Occipital artery was discovered to be dilated (enlarged). The left occipital artery was normal and unremarkable. The origin and course of both sided occipital arteries was as usual. In vascular lesions, the Occipital artery is a crucial artery. It is also one of the most suitable donor arteries in conditions like aneurysms.
