ANOMALOUS ORIGIN OF MEDIAL AND LATERAL CIRCUMFLEX FEMORAL ARTERIES - A RARE CASE REPORT

ANBUMALAR B .

Abstract


The knowledge about variation in origin of medial and lateral circumflex femoral arteries are very important during surgical procedures and interventional studies. The medial  circumflex femoral artery is commonly used for Arteriography, Doppler imaging, Digital substraction angiography. The lateral circumflex femoral artery can be used in coronary artery bypass grafting and as an anterolateral thigh perforator flap in the          reconstruction of large defect secondary to gunshot wounds. In the present study both right medial and right lateral circumflex femoral arteries were arising directly from right femoral artery proximal to the profunda femoris artery.
