This study details five cases of persistent sciatic artery, a rare vascular condition. Treatment involved aneurysm exclusion and bypass surgery, with one patient declining intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Human Embryology
  • Medical Case Studies

Background:

  • Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare congenital anomaly where the sciatic artery fails to regress during fetal development.
  • This condition can lead to complications such as aneurysms, pseudoaneurysms, or occlusive disease.
  • Understanding the embryological basis is crucial for diagnosing and managing PSA.

Observation:

  • Five cases of unilateral persistent sciatic artery were identified.
  • The primary clinical presentation involved aneurysmal dilatation of the artery.
  • No bilateral cases were observed in this cohort.

Findings:

  • Four patients underwent surgical intervention, primarily aneurysm exclusion.
  • Procedures included ligature of the internal iliac artery and femoropopliteal bypass in two cases.

  • One patient opted against surgical treatment, highlighting patient choice in management.

    • Implications:

    • Surgical management aims to prevent thromboembolic events and limb ischemia associated with PSA aneurysms.
    • The study underscores the importance of recognizing PSA in clinical practice.
    • Further research into long-term outcomes of various surgical techniques for PSA is warranted.
