Abstract

Several anatomical variations involving the great saphenous vein have been described in the literature. Some of them concern the saphenofemoral junction, including duplication, ectasia, and different numbers of tributaries. In this case series, a rare, distinct variation, the inter-arterial saphenofemoral junction was reported.

Keywords: anatomical variation; great saphenous vein; saphenofemoral junction.
