Aortic quadfurcation with persistent left sciatic artery: an extremely rare anatomic variant in a 3-year-old boy

Reports of aortoiliac variant anatomy are rare, especially in the pediatric population. A 3-year-old male patient with hypertension and left foot polydactyly with syndactyly was referred to our interventional radiology service for evaluation of a possible renovascular cause of the hypertension. Angi...
