Radiological and Embryological Relevance of Persistent Sciatic Arteries: A Rare Presentation

Abstract: Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is an extremely rare condition that is present in around 0.05% of the population and is commonly associated with many complications. The management is conservative or through surgical intervention and depends on the type of complication.
