Abstract
This case report describes surgical treatment in a sciatic artery aneu rysm with hypoplastic external iliac and femoral arteries. An obturato r bypass grafting procedure from the internal iliac artery to the dist al sciatic artery was performed after aneurysmal exclusion was achieve d by proximal and distal ligation. This method offers an acceptable op tion for surgery in some types of sciatic artery aneurysms.
