Persistent sciatic artery, a rare congenital vascular anomaly, can cause sciatic neuropathy. This case highlights pseudoaneurysm formation leading to acute sciatic neuropathy, emphasizing MRI

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Neurology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Persistent sciatic artery is a rare congenital vascular anomaly affecting lower extremity arterial supply.
  • Complications include thrombosis, embolization, aneurysms, and rupture, potentially compressing the sciatic nerve.

Observation:

  • A case of acute sciatic neuropathy secondary to persistent sciatic artery pseudoaneurysm is presented.
  • The patient experienced sciatic nerve compression due to the pseudoaneurysm.

Findings:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) proved useful in diagnosing the pseudoaneurysm and its effect on the sciatic nerve.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering persistent sciatic artery complications in sciatic neuropathy differential diagnoses.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and management of persistent sciatic artery complications are crucial for preventing neurological deficits.
  • Enhanced understanding of vascular anomalies contributing to neuropathy can improve patient outcomes.
