Objective: Patients of aorto-iliac aneurysms who undergo endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) require internal iliac artery (IIA) occlusion with coil embolization and its coverage with the stent graft to prevent type II endoleak after extending the endograft into the external iliac artery. However, it has become well recognized that IIA occlusion cause buttock claudication and other various sequel...

Dear Editor, We have read the interesting article by Babaev and Jhaveri about endovascular revascularization of pudendal artery atherosclerotic disease in patients with medically refractory erectile dysfunction. During percutaneous interventions to common iliac (CIA) or external iliac artery lesions (EIA), the internal iliac artery (IIA) usually gets less attention, especially in female patient...

The cervix is the lower aspect of the uterus. It is roughly cylindrical in shape, projects through the superior-anterior vaginal wall, and communicates with the vagina through the endocervical canal, which terminates in the external os located at the top of the vagina. Cancer of the cervix may originate from the mucosa of the surface of the cervix or from within the canal. Carcinoma of the uter...

Avulsion fracture of the iliac crest is an uncommon pathology. It usually occurs in teenagers during sport activities, more common in boys. We report a case of 16-year-old male competitive sprinter, who had an avulsion of a part of the iliac crest and the anterior-superior iliac spine during a competition. The traumatism occurred during the period of acceleration phase out of the blocks which c...

Cases of vascular anomalies of the iliac and femoral vessels are rare. We report a complete absence of the right common iliac artery in a 21-year-old woman, incidentally discovered by CT during the work-up for acute abdominal pain. A network of prominent collateral arteries reconstituted the distal portion of the right external iliac artery and the common femoral artery, forming the arterial su...
