In regard to the complex anatomical relationship of peripheral nerves and muscles, tendons, fasciae as well as their long course within those anatomical structures and additional close contact to bony structures, they are prone to suffer from local compression syndromes. Hence creating a vast majority of entrapment syndromes - well described in literature for almost every single nerve. The purpose of this article is to give an overview of symptoms, signs, diagnostic studies and treatment options, addressing especially the less known syndromes...

INTRODUCTION: Cauda equina syndrome (CES), conus medullaris syndrome (CMS), and sciatica-like syndromes or "sciatica mimics" (SM) may present as diagnostic and/or therapeutic dilemmas for the practicing spine surgeon. There is considerable controversy regarding the appropriate definition and diagnosis of these entities, as well as indications for and timing of surgery. Our goal is to formulate the most current, evidence-based recommendations for the definition, diagnosis, and management of CES, CMS, and SM syndromes...

Piriformis syndrome refers to rare cause of lower back pain and sciatica caused by abnormal piriformis muscle. Diagnosis is often delayed due to the rarity of the condition, lack of specific clinical symptoms, and physical tests. Only few case reports are reported on the role of magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of piriformis syndrome so far and none are from Ethiopia. Here, we report a case of piriformis syndrome in a 30 years old man who presented with right posterior hip pain that radiates to the thigh and calf...

UNLABELLED: Dental professionals are exposed to significant unavoidable physical stress, and theoretical ergonomic recommendations for a sitting workplace are inapplicable in many dental activities. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) represent a serious health problem among dental professionals (prevalence: 64-93%), showing involvement of 34-60% for the low back and 15-25% for the hips. Muscle stress; prolonged sitting; forward bending and twisting of the torso and head; unbalanced working postures with asymmetrical weight on the hips and uneven shoulders; and others are inevitable for dental professionals...

BACKGROUND: In deep gluteal syndrome (DGS), the piriformis muscle could impinge the sciatic nerve. The FAIR (flexion adduction internal rotation) test is a provocation test used to identify sciatic nerve irritation caused by this muscle. Compression and stretching exercises are usually prescribed to treat this syndrome. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of these two treatments on surface electromyography (sEMG) of the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior in patients with low back pain (LBP) and DGS...

Deep gluteal syndrome is a clinical condition in which discomfort may arise due to the pathoanatomy of the subgluteal space. In this study, we conducted an anatomical exploration to categorize the relationship of the piriformis muscle, sciatic nerve, and pudendal nerve to the ischial spine and sacrospinous ligament. Twenty-two cadavers were analyzed. The piriformis muscle, sciatic nerve, and pudendal nerve were exposed either through a transgluteal approach or a gluteal flap. The relationship of the neural structures to the ischial spine, sacrospinous ligament, and ischial bone as they exit the greater sciatic foramen was observed and the exit zones were classified as either: zone A medial to the ischial spine (entirely on sacrospinous ligament), zone B on the ischial spine, and zone C lateral to the ischial spine (entirely on ischial bone)...

BACKGROUND: Hyperuricemia can lead to synovial hyperplasia in the wrist. In severe cases, it can lead to the deposition of gouty stone in the carpal tunnel, resulting in increased pressure in the carpal tunnel and compression of the median nerve to cause carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), which is called gouty carpal tunnel syndrome (GCTS). As for the surgical treatment of gouty carpal tunnel syndrome, scholars have different opinions on whether it is necessary to remove the superficial flexor tendon...

Entrapment neuropathies of the lower limb are a misunderstood and underdiagnosed group of disorders, characterized by pain and dysesthesia, muscular weakness, and specific provoking movements on physical examination. The most frequent of these syndromes encountered in clinical practice are fibular nerve entrapment, proximal tibial neuropathy, sural nerve neuropathy, deep gluteal syndrome or sciatic nerve entrapment, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve entrapment, also known as meralgia paresthetica. These are commonly mistaken for lumbar plexopathies, radiculopathies, and musculotendinous diseases, which appear even more frequently and have overlapping clinical presentations...

BACKGROUND: The trochanteric bursae are often left unrepaired after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and they retract posteriorly over the muscle belly of the piriformis. Deep gluteal syndrome (DGS) is a multifactorial condition presenting as buttock pain and is attributed to nondiscogenic sciatic nerve irritation or impingement causes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between bursal repair and incidence of DGS in patients undergoing THA. METHODS: This prospective randomized trial included patients treated with a THA between January and December 2022 for a diagnosis of primary osteoarthritis...

PURPOSE: In this article, we report a case of an atypical inferior gluteal artery that passed through the piriformis muscle when it emerged from the pelvic cavity in an elderly Japanese female cadaver. We speculate that this atypical artery could be entrapped and compressed by the piriformis muscle and may therefore be associated with piriformis syndrome; however, the anatomical characteristics of such an atypical artery have not been previously reported. To assess this potential association, the atypical inferior gluteal artery was anatomically examined...

At times electrodiagnostic medical consultants (EMCs) are asked to perform studies in both a neutral position, and then again after the patient is in a provocative position that exacerbates symptoms, to assess for measurable electrophysiologic changes. While this approach might seem initially appealing, particularly when standard studies are not effective at diagnosis, empiric studies in several conditions have been unimpressive. Studies in median neuropathy at the wrist, thoracic outlet syndrome, piriformis syndrome and radial tunnel syndrome have failed to demonstrate reproducible changes in nerve conduction studies in positions that exacerbate symptoms...
