Angiography revealed persistence of the primitive sciatic artery in two cases. In one, the artery supplied a large arteriovenous malformation, and the profunda femoris artery was absent. In the other, there were associated findings of neurofibromatosis, decreased left lower limb lymphatic vessels, a left subinguinal lymphocele, and absent external iliac and femoral arteries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
