[Aneurysm of a persistent sciatic artery: five case reports].
We report five cases of a persistent sciatic artery. The lesion was unilateral in all cases. Four patients were treated by exclusion of the aneurysm with ligature of the internal iliac artery with an associated femoropopliteal bypass in two. Surgical treatment was declined by one patient. We discuss the embryology, pathology, clinical aspects and surgical procedures involved.
