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.
股静脉越来越多地用于静脉插管程序。其在股三角的异常可能使这些程序复杂化。我们报告了在常规尸体解剖中观察到的一种极其罕见的股静脉梯式变异。这种变异存在于一名 70 岁男性尸体的左下肢。股静脉在其起始的 3cm 和末端的 4cm 处是单一静脉。静脉的中间部分显示出双重性和复杂的梯式图案，并环绕股三角内的股动脉。这种异常可能使静脉容易发生深静脉血栓形成。在放射学程序、股疝修补术以及股三角脓肿和淋巴结清除术期间，了解这种异常可能会很有用。
