hydatid cyst locates in the liver (70%), lungs (25%) and rarely in other body tissues. cases with gluteal muscle localized hydatid cyst are rarely seen in literature. in this case report, a woman with hydatid cyst that was located in gluteal muscle was discussed. after the patient had been diagnosed, complete surgical excision was performed with the patient. albendazole treatment was applied in...

OBJECTIVE There is growing evidence to support the association of gluteal muscle strength deficits in individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) and the effectiveness of gluteal strengthening when treating PFPS. In additiona, an impressive body of work evaluating gluteal electromyography (EMG) has recently emerged, further supporting the importance of gluteal muscle function in PFPS. ...

Introduction The superior gluteal neurovascular bundle passes between the piriformis muscle and gluteus medius muscle as it moves distally to supply the muscles of the gluteal region. The superior gluteal nerve receives spinal contributions from L4, L5, and S1 while the superior gluteal artery is the terminal branch of the posterior division of the internal iliac artery [1]. Multiple variations...

Superior gluteal nerve emerges through the greater sciatic foramen above the piriformis muscle. The nerve curves upwards and forwards between the gluteus medius and minimus muscles, supplies both of them and ends by supplying the tensor fasciae latae muscle, from its deep surface. During hip surgeries, this nerve often gets injured resulting in complications. An exact knowledge of its course is...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Gluteal muscle contracture (GMC) is a chronic fibrotic disease of gluteal muscles which is characterized by excessive deposition of collagen in the extracellular matrix. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-βs have been shown to play an important role in the progression of GMC. However, the underlying mechanisms are not entirely clear. We sought to explore the expression of TGF...

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...

Macroscopic examination of topographic and anatomical features of fascial-cellular structures in the gluteal region was carried out on 82 specimens of human fetuses aged 6-10 months. We described the splitting of the gluteal fascia into three layers: superficial, middle and deep ones. Superficial and middle layers form a fascial sheath for the gluteus maximus large muscle, which is separated fr...

Pressure ulcers classified as Stage IV (according to National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel staging guidelines) [1] take a long time to heal, and may cause serious infections, such as osteomyelitis and sepsis [2-5]. Thus, they usually require surgical repair using a muscle or fasciocutaneous flap (according to International Guidelines). Treatment of Pressure Ulcers: Quick Reference Guide) Glute...
