“…Ours were 8.6 and 9.6 mm, respectively. The PSVs in both case reports drained into the deep femoral vein (10). In our case, there was not an accompanying artery at the back of the thigh and the variant vein had no communication with the inferior gluteal vein or perforating veins along its course.…”

Background: Venous anomalies of the lower extremity are a challenge when found as rare variations. Physicians should be aware of morphological variations in this region for correct diagnosis and management of diseases such as deep vein thrombosis. Materials and methods:During the routine dissection of the lower extremities of a Caucasian male cadaver, a case of persistent sciatic vein was found.Results: A persistent sciatic vein originating from the saphenopopliteal junction coursed proximally and laterally to enter into the adductor magnus muscle, at the right side.Running through the fibers of the adductor magnus anteriorly, the variant vein drained into the deep femoral vein just medial to the vastus medialis muscle. Conclusions:As being a rare congenital vascular anomaly, the persistent sciatic vein should be correctly diagnosed and defined during the radiologic assessments, surgical interventions and blockades for better outcomes and lesser complications.

“…The prevalence of PSV is even higher in individuals with the KTWS. [4,11,12] For instance, Cherry et al, [5] found a PSV in 20 (48%) out of 41 KTWS patients who were diagnosed through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A similar study on KTWS by Noel et al, [12] found a PSV prevalence of 20%.…”

“…PSV can be present unilaterally [5,[13][14][15] or bilaterally, [5,7,11,12] and can occur as a single large vein [4,12] or a network of veins. [4,5] It can also present concurrently with a persistent sciatic artery.…”

“…[12,15] When present, the PSV can assume any of the three forms as described by Cherry et al [5] The PSV displays typical features of a medium-size vein, with a thin tunica intima, thin muscular tunica media, and a thick well-developed tunica adventitia. [11] There are conflicting reports on the presence of valves within the PSV. Koç et al, [11] in their case report of bilateral PSV found 3 valves in each of the veins.…”

Persistent sciatic vein is considered a relatively rare anatomical finding, commonly associated with the Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome. We report a case of a large unilateral persistent sciatic vein in the right lower limb of an adult male cadaver, identified during routine dissection. The size of the vein was comparable to the sciatic nerve and it was originated from the union of posterior tibial veins at the distal end of the popliteal fossa. It was ascending in the posterior part of the thigh, medial to the sciatic nerve, before coursing through the infrapiriform foramen of the greater sciatic foramen and terminating by draining into the internal iliac vein. Further dissection revealed conventional anatomy of the femoral venous system. The epidemiology, anatomy, diagnosis and management a persistent sciatic vein are also discussed.
