Résumé
Femoral vein is increasingly used for venous cannulation procedures. Its anomalies in the femoral triangle could complicate these procedures. We report an extremely rare type of femoral venous ladder observed during routine cadaveric dissections. The variation was found in the left lower limb of an adult male cadaver aged 70 years. The femoral vein was a single vein in initial 3 cm and terminal 4 cm of its course. The middle part of the vein showed a duplication and a complex ladder pattern and encircled the femoral artery in the femoral triangle. This anomaly could predispose the vein for deep vein thrombosis. Knowledge of this anomaly could be useful during radiological procedures, femoral hernia repair and femoral triangle abscess and lymph node clearance.
