Gluteal pyomyositis in a non-tropical region as a rare cause of sciatic nerve compression: a case report.

Introduction: Pyomyositis, or isolated abscess formation within a skeletal muscle, is a relatively common condition in tropical climates but it is only encountered rarely in temperate zones.

Case Presentation: We present a case of non-tropical pyomyositis of the gluteal muscle in a 26-year-old, previously healthy man from the United Kingdom, who initially presented with sciatica-like symptoms which began 3 days after a mosquito bite on his nose, which had become infected and discharged pus.

Conclusion: Gluteal pyomyositis involving the sciatic nerve may initially present as radiculopathy.
