A Combined Variation in the Gluteal Region
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 reached the lower part of the muscle. The two components of the sciatic nerve ran normally along the thigh in the same sheath, reaching the popliteal fossa, and then separated into two parts.

A Rare Variation in Inferior Gluteal Artery (Case Report)
Inferior gluteal artery is the greatest branch of interior trunk of internal iliac artery that supplies the gluteal region and posterior of thigh. This artery emerges from inferior border of piriformis and descends toward the thigh deep to the gluteus maximus muscle. Several variations have been reported about inferior gluteal artery. In this case, the artery has emerged from superior border of...
متن کاملReport of a Novel Bilateral Variation of Sciatic and Inferior Gluteal Nerve
Sciatic nerve is the thickest nerve of the sacral plexus, which innervates many muscles and vast areas of the skin of the lower limb. It leaves the pelvis via the greater sciatic foramen, emerges into the gluteal region by passing under the piriformis muscle, and descends beneath the gluteus maximus to divide into its terminal branches: tibial and common peroneal nerve at the superior angle of ...

Received: 31 Dec, 2008 Accepted: 22 July, 2009 Abstract The sciatic nerve, posterior cutaneus nerve of thigh, and inferior gluteal nerve are branches of sacral plexus. They leave the pelvis via greater sciatic foramen and arises in gluteal region in infra piriformis fossa. The sciatic nerve usually divides at the upper angle of the popliteal fossa to common peroneal and tibial nerves. The...
متن کاملMorphological 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...

Introduction: The Persian squirrel (Sciurus anomalus) is considered the only well-known species of the family Sciuridae in the Middle East. Since some people keep this squirrel as a domestic pet, their attendance at veterinary clinics is increasing. So far, no study has been conducted on the arterial supply of the pelvic cavity and limb in the squirrel. Hence, this research was performed to fil...
