ABSTRACT

During the last decades of medical practice, advancements in surgical technology and imaging studies gave us the blessing of detecting many vascular diseases way before they become unforgivingly advanced and intervening properly. A persistent sciatic artery is a rare kind of vascular anomaly that is a perfect example of how advanced vascular surgical and imaging technologies helped both the physician make the most appropriate decision and the patient have the best chances, as this anomaly usually presents with complications later in life. In this case report, I will discuss a 59 years old female patient, which presented as a case of acute in top of chronic right lower limb ischemia. Radiological imaging showed persistent sciatic artery aneurysm, it was managed surgically at our vascular surgery unit in King Hussain Medical Centre, the surgery was uneventful and the patient was smoothly recovered.
