title: [Clinical aspects of persistent sciatic artery. Description of 2 cases with angiographic demonstration].
abstract: We report 2 additional cases with angiographic demonstration. The embryology and radiological findings are discussed. This anomaly should be kept in mind in the clinical assessment of a patient with unexplained sciatic or buttock pain or a pulsatile buttock mass with or without symptoms of peripheral vascular disease. It also represents a potential hazard during renal transplant surgery.
