An atypical obturator nerve: an anatomical and clinical case report

Abstract

Abstract An undescribed junction between the obturator nerve and the saphenous nerve was identified during an autopsy. A case report was conducted using routine dissection techniques, and the material was accessed through a local informed donation program. The case report presented here has an important clinical implications for surgeons operating in the area. An understanding of the anatomy of the obturator nerve and knowledge of its variations is essential for surgical procedures, pain management, radiological diagnosis, and education.
