Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) is a rare inborn abnormality that belongs to the disorders of hip joint of infant age. Abnormal vascular supply was revealed in two cases examined on CT with vessel visualization using CT angiography (CTA) at the affected lower extremity. Internal iliac artery and its branch inferior gluteal artery were the major supplying arteries. There was also abnormal venous drainage in one of these cases, via a deep vein of the thigh leading blood to internal iliac vein. These findings allow for better planning of the surgical correction treatment.
