Abstract
A patient with bilateral congenital aplasia of the deep femoral arteries is described. The condition was accompanied by aneurysms of the popliteal arteries. Besides the academic interest of such an anatomical rarity, the abnormality is of clinical importance insofar as acute ischemia of the extremity may occur in the presence of superficial femoral artery occlusion.Entities:
