Study Design A retrospective, cross-sectional study of 213 patients who presented for abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans to assess coccygeal morphology in the Indian population. Purpose There have been relatively few studies of coccygeal morphology in the normal population and none in the Indian population. We aimed to estimate coccygeal morphometric parameters in the Indian population....

The sciatic nerve normally leaves the pelvis by passing through the greater sciatic foramen below piriformis. However, it may divide into its common fibular and tibial nerve components within the pelvis and its relationship with piriformis is variable. In this paper, we describe a new anatomical variation in which the common fibular nerve passed superior, and the tibial nerve inferior, to the s...

Coccygodynia is pain in the region of the coccyx. In most cases, abnormal mobility is seen on dynamic standing and seated radiographs, although the cause of pain is unknown in other patients. Bone scans and magnetic resonance imaging may show inflammation and edema, but neither technique is as accurate as dynamic radiography. Treatment for patients with severe pain should begin with injection o...

Objective: This study aims to find and compare the effects of primal reflex release technique and stretching exercises on pain intensity, functional performance, and pain-free sitting duration in patients with coccydynia. Methods: This is a randomized clinical trial. A total of 46 individuals were chosen for the sample based on the inclusion criteria, and they were divided into groups A and B....

Tarlov cyst (TCs) is also called perineural cyst, which a rare disease of the posterior nerve root prevalently localized in lumbo-sacral region, however, it possible every part spinal cord. These cysts represent dilation nerve-root sheath that often communicate with subarachnoid space through valve-like mechanism containing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and neural tissue. asymptomatic discovered in...

BACKGROUND The ganglion impar is the first pelvic ganglion of the efferent sympathetic trunk that relays pelvic and perineal nociceptive messages and therefore constitutes a therapeutic target. OBJECTIVE The objective of this single-center study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 3 repeated ganglion impar blocks in patients with chronic pelvic and perineal pain on intention-to-treat. STUD...

PATIENT Male, 73 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Sacrococcygeal chordoma • SYMPTOMS Coccycodynia • sacral pain MEDICATION - Clinical Procedure: - Specialty: Surgery Objective: Rare disease. BACKGROUND Sacrococcygeal chordomas are rare and difficult to diagnose tumors. CASE REPORT A 73-year-old man in the last 6 months felt a pain in and around the coccyx when sitting and especially when rising from th...

INTRODUCTION Sciatic nerve variations are relatively common. These variations are often very significant in several fields of Medicine. The purpose of this paper is to present two such variants and discuss their clinical implications. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three Caucasian cadavers with no prior history of lower limb trauma or surgery were dissected and found to present anatomical variants of t...

The presence of perineural cysts within the sacral spinal canal was initially described in the literature as early as 1938, when Tarlov had identified a similar lesion during one of his autopsies [1]. These rare cerebro-spinal fluid-filled lesions arising from the nerve root sheaths of the dorsal root ganglion, have thence, been described by various authors with diverse clinical and radiologica...
