“…As reported by Mansfield and Howard [7], in case of complete absence of the common iliac arteries, the abdominal aorta is divided directly into 4 branches: the 2 internal and the 2 external iliac arteries. Llauger et al [8] presented aplasia of the right common iliac artery in an asymptomatic patient, in whom both the right pelvis and lower limb were supplied by an anomalous branch from the left internal iliac artery. Some authors therefore [9,10] argued that congenital absence of the common iliac arteries should be included in the differential diagnosis for intermittent claudication of the legs (Leriche syndrome).…”

SummaryBackgroundThe present study was carried out to compile normative data for dimensions of the common iliac arteries at varying gestational ages.Material/MethodsWe used anatomical dissection, digital-image analysis (system of Leica QWin Pro 16) and statistical analysis (Student T test, one-way ANOVA, post-hoc RIR Tukey test, and regression analysis) to examine the increase in length (mm), proximal external diameter (mm), and volume (mm3) of the common iliac arteries in 124 (60 males, 64 females) spontaneously aborted human fetuses aged 15–34 weeks.ResultsNeither sex nor right-left significant differences were found (P>0.05). The length ranged from 4.76±1.05 to 15.38±1.60 mm on the right, and from 4.92±1.33 to 14.91±1.25 mm on the left, according to the linear functions y=−3.598+0.585×Age ±1.522 (R2=0.83) and y=−3.107+0.554×Age ±1.444 (R2=0.83). The proximal external diameter increased from 0.66±0.19 to 2.30±0.42 mm on the right, and from 0.66±0.14 to 2.16±0.42 mm on the left, according to the quadratic models y=1.392−0.110×Age+0.004×Age2 ±0.285 (R2=0.77) and y=1.283−0.099×Age+0.004×Age2 ±0.238 (R2=0.81). The volumes were increasing from 1.93±1.74 to 66.95±29.31 mm3 on the right, and from 1.91±1.65 to 56.86±25.17 mm3 on the left, given by the quadratic functions: y=99.69−10.60×Age+0.287×Age2 ±14.40 (R2=0.67) and y=82.62−8.86×Age+0.242×Age2 ±11.60 (R2=0.71).ConclusionsThe common iliac arteries grow linearly in length, and parabolically in both diameter and volume. The right common iliac artery constitutes a predominant vessel in relation to its length, external diameter and volume. The morphometric data on the common iliac arteries may serve as a useful reference in the prenatal diagnosis and monitoring of congenital aorto-iliac abnormalities.

“…Different anomalies related to the lower extremity arteries have been reported, including atresia or hypoplasia of the external iliac arteries, 1-7 unilateral or bilateral atresia of internal iliac arteries 9,10 and unilateral atresia of a common iliac artery. 3,10 The present patient is the first to be diagnosed as having bilateral hypoplasia of the iliac arteries in the newborn period.…”

Congenital anomaly of the iliac arteries is rare, and, given that patients are generally asymptomatic, diagnosis in the newborn period is difficult. Herein is presented the case of a newborn with bilateral hypoplasia of the common iliac arteries, seen on multi-slice computed tomography while investigating the absence of femoral pulse. This anomaly is a rare cause of absence of femoral arterial pulse.

“…On the contrary, absence of common iliac artery in humans has only been described in a few isolated case reports. [10][11][12][13][14][15] Although a very rare anomaly, the persistent sciatic artery is also a well-known entity. As a branch of the umbilical artery, the earliest fetal blood supply to the developing lower extremity, it persists in the adult and is associated with a high incidence rate of complications that include aneurysm formation, embolism and nerve compression.…”

“…As a branch of the umbilical artery, the earliest fetal blood supply to the developing lower extremity, it persists in the adult and is associated with a high incidence rate of complications that include aneurysm formation, embolism and nerve compression. [12,14] Based on angiograms, the incidence of persistant sciatic artery has been reported as 0.025% to 0.04%, and it is concluded that the persistent sciatic artery is a branch of the internal iliac artery and can occasionally originate from common iliac artery. [16] According to the classical textbooks the common iliac artery in adults does not give any substantial branch.…”

A rare anastomotic artery between right and left common iliac arteries: iliac anastomotic artery

Congenital abdominal aortoiliac arterial variations are not as common as aortic arch anomalies. [1,2] Incidentally observed abdominal arterial and venous variations and anomalies are being encountered increasingly with the widespread use of multislice CT for abdominal and vascular diseases. Knowledge on these variations is crucial especially before surgeries to repair occlusive diseases, aneurysms, and transplant surgeries in order to reduce complications such as vascular injury and bleeding. Here we present an extremely rare common iliac artery variation observed during an abdominal CT examination.
