Etymology
The term "Iliolumbar" is derived from the Latin words "ilium", meaning flank, and "lumbus", meaning loin. This refers to the artery's location and the areas it supplies.
Anatomy
The Iliolumbar artery typically arises from the posterior division of the internal iliac artery, but variations can occur. It ascends to the psoas major muscle, where it divides into two branches: the lumbar branch and the iliac branch. The lumbar branch supplies the psoas major muscle and the muscles of the posterior abdominal wall. The iliac branch supplies the iliacus muscle, the sacroiliac joint, and the iliolumbar ligament.
Clinical Significance
The Iliolumbar artery is an important landmark in surgeries involving the lumbar spine or the pelvis. Its injury can lead to significant bleeding. It is also involved in certain pathological conditions like lumbar artery syndrome and iliac artery aneurysm.
