Abstract

The anomalous retro-psoas iliac artery is an extremely rare congenital iliolumbar vascular anomaly. A 51-year-old woman presented to our emergency department with worsening right lower extremity pain and weakness for 3 months. CT angiography of the right lower extremity showed no evidence of stenosis in the lower extremity arteries and the incidental finding of an anomalous right retro-psoas iliac artery. Herein, we report a rare case of anomalous retro-psoas iliac artery. Surgeons and clinicians need to be aware of this rare congenital anomaly to avoid severe complications during pelvic or orthopedic surgery.

허리근뒤 이상 온엉덩동맥은 엉덩허리 혈관 이상 중에서도 굉장히 희귀한 선천적 이상이다. 51세 여성이 응급실에 점점 심해지는 오른쪽 하지 통증과 쇠약으로 내원하였다. 하지 CT 혈관조영술에서 하지 동맥들에 협착 소견 없었으며 이 검사 중에 오른쪽 허리근뒤 온엉덩동맥을 우연히 발견하였다. 우리는 희귀한 허리근뒤 이상 온엉덩동맥 증례를 보고하자고 한다. 외과의사와 임상의는 이 선천적 이상을 알고 있어야 골반 쪽이나 기타 정형외과적 수술 시 발생할 수 있는 심각한 합병증을 예방할 수 있다.
