The femoral  vein assessment is important in central venous placement. The individual with duplication of the femoral vein  are more prone for deep vein thrombosis. In this study we have attempted to study the variations in the relationship of femoral vein and the femoral artery by direct dissection method in human cadavers and by studying computerized tomographs. The results are discussed in the article. The sound knowledge  about the anatomical variations of femoral vessels and their branches in the femoral triangle is very important for the successful outcome of surgeries in the femoral triangle. We believe that this report is of importance to the general and vascular surgeons and will enlighten them to avoid the unnecessary complications.
