A Rare Case of Associated Double Ilioinguinal Nerve and Double Iliohypogastric

Abstract

Background: Anatomical variations represent an embryological and comparative background for medicine and biology in order to understand the morphological aspect of the human body and its related structures. The present report aimed to describe an unfamiliar variation in the intra-abdominal course of the left Ilioinguinal and Iliohypogastric nerves. Methodology: A 77 male cadavers with the age range between (24-69 years) which were involved during routine dissection in department of anatomy among several Sudanese faculties during the period from (2016 – 2018) after obtaining the ethical approvals. Results: An abnormal course of left Ilioinguinal and left Iliohypogastric nerves in the abdomen by emerging as two nerves from the lateral border of the left psoas major muscle was mostly noticed. Conclusion: Variations in the intra-abdominal course of Ilioinguinal and Iliohypogastric nerves should be known by the surgeons during various abdominal surgeries.
