A case of aneurysm of persistent sciatic artery with ruptured aneurysm of the internal iliac artery is reported. A 62-year-old man was admitted to our hospital in emergency because of abdominal severe pain. Abdominal CT and angiography showed aneurysm of the infrarenal aortic aorta and left internal iliac artery and left persistent sciatic artery. The persistent sciatic artery aneurysm was coursed down the left thigh. Left superficial femoral artery was supplying blood to the popliteal artery as normal connection. Emergency operation was performed. The left internal iliac aneurysm was ruptured to a retroperitoneal space. The aneurysm was replaced by a Y-shaped dacron double velour graft from the infrarenal abdominal aorta to right common iliac and left external iliac arteries, which was followed by a ligation at the origin of left persistent sciatic aneurysm. The pulsation of the left lower extremity was good and additional bypass procedure to the popliteal artery was not performed. The post-operative course of the patient was excellent and post-operative angiography showed normal anatomy of the left lower extremity. Optimal management of ruptured abdominal aneurysm thus requires not only an emergency operation but detailed observation of preoperative CT and angiography in order to scrutinize the associated vascular anomalies.

D017542 Aneurysm, Ruptured The tearing or bursting of the weakened wall of the aneurysmal sac, usually heralded by sudden worsening pain. The great danger of a ruptured aneurysm is the large amount of blood spilling into the surrounding tissues and cavities, causing HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK.
