What is Doppler Ultrasound Reveals the Persistent Sciatic Artery about?

Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly, with an incidence of 0.03e0.06% worldwide. 1 In the early embryo periods, sciatic artery develops from umbilical artery which is the major blood source to lower limbs. Normally, the umbilical artery degenerates into the internal iliac artery, and the sciatic artery remodels and regresses into a gluteal inferior artery at a later stage of development. Fig. 1. Ultrasonography showed the left persistent sciatic artery (PSA) in the popliteal fossa (A, B). Computed tomography angiography revealed the left PSA (white arrow) (C, D).
