High Division of Sciatic Nerve - A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The Sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. It is formed in the lesser pelvis by anterior primary root of L4 to S3 nerve roots. The nerve leaves the pelvis by passing through greater sciatic foramen, below the piriformis muscle and runs in the posterior aspect of thigh. Then it divides into Tibial nerve and Common peroneal nerve at the superior angle of popliteal fossa. During our routine dissection, in the dissection hall of SDM college of Ayurveda & Hospital, Udupi, in a 55 year old male cadaver, variation in the division of sciatic nerve at higher level below the level of piriformis muscle was observed. The knowledge of variations in high division of sciatic nerve in gluteal region such as above are very important for surgeons and anaesthetists as this is the area of frequent surgical manipulation. This high division may result in sciatic nerve injury during deep intramuscular injections in gluteal region, failed popliteal block and injury during posterior hip operation.
