Congenital anomaly: Yes. Congenital absence of external ileac artery, which will become femoral below the groin, involved limb will be shorter and thinner, collaterals will develop from internal ileac artery, even can feel pulse (pedal) at the foot. Even bilateral (both sides) absence is possible .
