Unusually located inferior lateral genicular artery in two cadavers and an abnormally attached soleus with the absence of plantaris

Year 2018, Volume: 12 Issue: 1, 49 - 51, 27.04.2018

Abstract

Two cadavers (ages of 54 and 68, male) were presented
with the variative inferior lateral genicular artery which was passing
superficial to the plantaris instead of deep to it. Soleus attached to
popliteus tendon with the absence of plantaris was encountered in the other
extremity of one of those cases. The cases were evaluated regarding clinical
and developmental aspects. This case is the first to our knowledge to describe
inferior lateral genicular artery passing superficial to the plantaris.
Positional variations of the artery could be taken into account related with
during radiological assessments regarding misdiagnosis. The case that soleus
attached to the popliteus tendon in the absence of plantaris has not been
mentioned in the literature.
