چکیده
Internal iliac aneurysms are usually silent and are identified as an incidental finding on a radiological investigation for an unrelated condition, unless catastrophic bleeding occurs. We present the first case of a middle-aged man with a large internal iliac aneurysm presenting with a foot drop and sciatic nerve pain. The endovascular management is discussed.

متن کاملAnatomical etiology of “pseudo-sciatica” from superior cluneal nerve entrapment: a laboratory investigation
Objective The superior cluneal nerve (SCN) may become entrapped where it pierces the thoracolumbar fascia over the iliac crest; this can cause low back pain (LBP) and referred pain radiating into the posterior thigh, calf, and occasionally the foot, producing the condition known as "pseudo-sciatica." Because the SCN was thought to be a cutaneous branch of the lumbar dorsal rami, originating fro...
