Unusual Cause of 'Piriformis Muscle Syndrome'

Archives of Neurology, 1990
The piriformis muscle syndrome is a controversial "clinical" syndrome primarily characterized by signs and symptoms of sciatic nerve compression at the region of the piriformis muscle as it passes through the greater sciatic notch. The syndrome is often referred to; however, cases are rarely reported, and it is generally an uncommon diagnosis. Of those

Scintigraphic Appearance of the Piriformis Muscle Syndrome

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1985
This is the first report in the nuclear medicine literature of the scintigraphic appearance of the piriformis muscle syndrome. This syndrome previously has been thought to be a purely clinical diagnosis and imaging modalities have been ignored. However, its confusing clinical presentation can lead to unnecessary surgical exploration.

1990
Although the symptoms are essentially the result of sciatic nerve entrapment, because of its peculiar and specific manifestations, this disturbance deserves special consideration. The neuropathy is essentially the result of a spasm (or possibly a localized hyperirritability) of the piriformis muscle, which by its location may result in direct pressure ...
