Persistent bilateral sciatic artery: Report of a rare case.

The sciatic artery - a rare finding on autopsy - and continuation of the inferior gluteal artery has been reported previously. On a routine dissection, bilateral persistent sciatic arteries were found in both thighs of a female cadaver. This provided evidence that the sciatic artery follows the sciatic nerve, supplies the back of the thigh and finally joins the popliteal artery near the knee.
