Persistent sciatic artery is a rare vascular anomaly. This case highlights bilateral aneurysms and reviews its embryology, clinical presentation, and surgical management.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Anatomy
  • Embryology
  • Surgical Management

Background:

  • The persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare congenital anomaly of lower limb vasculature.
  • It arises from an error during the embryonic development of the leg's arterial supply.
  • This condition is infrequently documented, with few angiographic reports available.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of bilateral persistent sciatic artery aneurysms.
  • The patient presented with symptoms requiring intervention.
  • The case was managed at King Edward VIII Hospital, Durban.

Findings:

  • Management involves excluding the aneurysm and performing vascular reconstruction.
  • Surgical intervention is necessary for symptomatic aneurysmal degeneration.

  • Successful management of bilateral PSA aneurysms was achieved.

    • Implications:

    • Understanding PSA embryology is crucial for diagnosis.
    • Early recognition and appropriate management can prevent limb ischaemia.
    • This case contributes to the limited literature on PSA, aiding future clinical practice.
