ABSTRACT
Variations seen in the femoral vein include duplication or multiple veins. We came across a case of femoral vein variation during dissection for undergraduates. There was bilateral duplication of femoral vein in the adductor canal. The presence of femoral vein duplication has potential influence on misdiagnosis of deep venous thrombosis by duplex ultrasound scanning. Femoral veins are also suitable vascular substitutes in infected prosthetic grafts and in infra-inguinal bypass surgery.
