A case report of anomalous branching of the popliteal artery.
A rare developmental anomaly of absent posterior tibial artery and hypoplastic anterior tibial artery is presented. In this case, marked hypertrophy of the peroneal artery compensated for the absent arteries. The peroneal artery also gave collaterals to form the dorsalis pedis and the plantar arteries.
