Abstract (2. Language): 
While doing the routine dissection for the MBBS Students, in the Department of Anatomy, NRS Medical College, Kolkata, India, multiple neurovascular variations were found in the inferior extremities of a 65 years old male cadaver in February, 2013. Variations were present in the Sciatic Nerve, sural nerve and sural communicating nerve, anterior tibial artery and deep fibular (peroneal) nerve. This case report will contribute in the field of Gross Anatomy and Clinical Anatomy. This case may also help the surgeons for a surgical approach and anaesthetists for regional anaesthesia in lower limbs.
