Congenital absence of left common and external iliac arteries

Abstract

Congenital atresia of the common and external iliac arteries is an extremely rare vascular anomaly, although often associated with limb ischemia and genitourinary malformations. We have presented a rare case of the congenital absence of the left common and external iliac arteries, with no limb ischemic symptoms or organ anomalies present.
