Abstract
A persistent sciatic artery aneurysm is a rare congenital vascular anomaly. Surgical intervention is reserved for symptomatic cases. The authors report the case of a 72-year-old woman who presented with thromboembolic occlusion of an aneurysmal persistent sciatic artery. Although initially symptomatic, she was managed expectantly with the aid of serial duplex sonographic imaging. The persistent sciatic artery subsequently thrombosed as a result of hypotension secondary to a myocardial infarction. No surgical intervention was required. The current literature on this condition is reviewed.
