Variations of Nerves Located in Deep Gluteal Region

Deep gluteal syndrome

Deep gluteal syndrome describes the presence of pain in the buttock caused from non-discogenic and extrapelvic entrapment of the sciatic nerve. Several structures can be involved in sciatic nerve entrapment within the gluteal space. A comprehensive history and physical examination can orientate the specific site where the sciatic nerve is entrapped, as well as several radiological signs that su...

Morphological variations of sciatic nerve and piriformis muscle in gluteal region during fetal period

Intramuscular drug injection in the gluteal region is often the most frequent cause of sciatic nerve injury in preterm newborns. Local anatomic variation is one of the predisposing causes of iatrogenic sciatic nerve injury. The aim of this morphological study was to assess the relationship of sciatic nerve with the piriformis muscle and to elucidate variations of fusion of piriformis with neigh...

A Foreign Body in the Gluteal Region

A Combined Variation in the Gluteal Region

A combined variation was identified in the left gluteal region of a new-born cadaver. The piriformis muscle consisted of a large upper part and a smaller lower part. The common peroneal nerve and a very small part of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve passed through these two parts of the muscle. The common peroneal nerve formed the sciatic nerve by combining with the tibial nerve when it re...
