Bilateral Eventration of Sciatic Nerve - A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
ABSTRACT The sciatic nerve is the thickest nerve in the body and it forms a band in its upper part about 2cm wide. It is the largest nerve of the body with a long course. It begins in pelvis and terminates at the superior angle of popliteal fossa. It controls hamstrings and all muscles of the lower limb below the knee. We are reporting an anomalous bilateral division of the sciatic nerve in a 45 years old male cadaver, sciatic nerve divide into tibial and common peroneal nerves was found to be in the pelvic region instead of its normal level of division which is considered to be the upper angle of popliteal fossa, this condition is referred to as eventration of sciatic nerve. The variation in division of sciatic nerve in general population needs to be kept in mind so as to create awareness among surgeons, anesthetists and anatomist about the degree and extent of variation in sciatic nerve division. This type of variation may lead to failed sciatic nerve block during pain management or any other lower limb surgeries.
