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.
