Intriguing variations of the tibial arteries and their clinical implications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The arterial network of the lower limb has a wide range of variations and attracts attention not only by anatomists but also by surgeons [1–9]. These variations are explained from the embryological abnormalities of the arterial pattern of the lower extremity [2,7,10]. From clinical point of view, the variant crural arteries may have an impact in the field of surgery and during catheterization procedures of the lower limb [5,9,11,12]. In this report, we present an interesting variation of the tibial arteries and discuss their anatomical variations. We also emphasize on the clinical implications of the aforementioned arteries.

Purpose: The circle of willis is responsible for blood supply of brain, which may suffer from anatomical variations. These disturbances can lead to aneurysm or even arterial rupture. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anatomical structure of the cerebral arteries forming the circle of willis in adult cadavers. Also, cerebral versus non- cerebral versus non-cerebral arterial walls wer...
متن کاملVariations in the Branching Pattern of Popliteal Artery and It’s Clinical Implications : a Cadaveric Study
Background: Due to the increasing number of surgical techniques used nowadays on the knee joint, the importance of the knowledge of the branching pattern of the vessels neighboring the joint becomes very significant. Anomalies of vascular patterns near the knee joint particularly the popliteal vessels, are therefore noteworthy in understanding the atypical clinical findings encountered while de...
متن کاملReport of a Novel Bilateral Variation of Sciatic and Inferior Gluteal Nerve
Sciatic nerve is the thickest nerve of the sacral plexus, which innervates many muscles and vast areas of the skin of the lower limb. It leaves the pelvis via the greater sciatic foramen, emerges into the gluteal region by passing under the piriformis muscle, and descends beneath the gluteus maximus to divide into its terminal branches: tibial and common peroneal nerve at the superior angle of ...
متن کاملPaper: A Case Report of a Rare Variation in Arising Branches of Brachial Artery
Variations in the arterial pattern of the upper limb are abundant and diverse and have been observed frequently either in cadaver dissection or in clinical practice and reports. In the most of these reports, radial or ulnar arteries were commonly involved, which can be damaged during surgical procedures. This report presents a case of a rare variation in arising branches of brachial artery. Dur...
