Abstract (2. Language):
During routine dissection for first MBBS students on 65 years donated embalmed male cadaver in the Department of Anatomy,
K.J.Somaiya Medical College, we observed the high origin of anterior tibial artery from the popliteal artery proximal to the popliteus
muscle. The anterior tibial artery ran downward on the posterior surface of the popliteus muscle. The posterior peroneotibial trunk
distal to the tendinous arch of soleus muscle divides into the posterior tibial and the peroneal arteries. The further course of anterior,
posterior tibial and peroneal arteries was normal. The photographs of the variations were taken for proper documentation and ready
reference. There were no associated neuromuscular variations found in same specimen. The right lower limb of the same cadaver was
normal.
