Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Aneurysm Treatment

Background:

  • Persistent sciatic artery aneurysms are rare congenital vascular anomalies.
  • These aneurysms can lead to significant complications, including thrombosis and distal embolization.
  • Diagnosis often requires advanced imaging like angiography.

Observation:

  • A 60-year-old male presented with a painful, pulsatile 8 cm mass in the right buttock.
  • Angiography confirmed a complete unilateral persistent sciatic artery aneurysm.
  • Symptoms persisted despite initial surgical obliteration.

Findings:

  • The aneurysm was obliterated via proximal and distal sciatic artery ligation.
  • A femoropopliteal bypass using an autologous saphenous vein was performed.

  • Surgical drainage of the residual mass was necessary due to persistent symptoms.

    • Implications:

    • Surgical ligation and bypass can be an effective treatment for persistent sciatic artery aneurysms.
    • Management may require staged procedures, including drainage, to resolve symptoms.
    • This case contributes to understanding the surgical approach for this rare condition.
