Özet

A case of bilateral anomalous arterial supply of the lower limb is presented. In this case, both anterior tibial arteries were hypoplastic. These arteries came to the anterior (extensor) compartment by passing superiorly through the interosseous membrane. They ran between the tibialis anterior and the extensor hallucis longus muscles and terminated after giving numerous muscular and fascial branches. The dorsalis pedis arteries originated from the peroneal arteries. The peroneal arteries reached the anterior compartment by piercing the interosseous membrane at its lower part and ran as the dorsalis pedis arteries. Awareness of the anatomical variations in anatomy of the distal popliteal artery is important for angiographers, vascular surgeons and reconstructive surgeons who operate upon these regions. © 1994 Springer-Verlag.
