Abstract :

The sciatic nerve arises from the lumbosacral plexus containing tibial and common peroneal components in a common fascial sheath. Usually, it splits at the popliteal fossa's tip into the tibial and common peroneal nerves. It is essential to know about these rare variants due to their significant clinical application. Although several variations have been reported earlier, we describe a rare finding of two similar variations (higher division of sciatic nerve and common peroneal nerves) in bilateral lower limbs of a human male cadaver.
