Une artère sciatique persistante révélée par une ischémie aiguë du membre inférieur droit : à propos d'un cas

The Persistent Sciatic Artery (PSA) is an unusual anatomical variation due to the persistence of an embryological artery, which should disappear before the 3rd month of intrauterine life. The reported case is that of a woman who developed an acute ischemia of the right lower limb, revealing the presence of persistent sciatic artery. Diagnosis was made only belatedly by means of angio-CT. The amputation was the inevitable choice of treatment.
