Background: Post-radiation peripheral neuropathy has been reported in brachial and cervical plexuses and the femoral nerve.
Case Presentation: We describe a patient who developed post-radiation sciatic neuropathy after approximately 3 years and discuss the pathophysiology, clinical course and treatment options available for the deleterious effects of radiation to peripheral nerves.
Conclusion: This is the first case of post-radiation involvement of the sciatic nerve reported in the literature.

This paper outlines the oncological outcomes of patients with large volume liposarcomas of the posterior thigh who underwent nerve-preserving surgery utilising epineural dissection. Thirty-seven consecutive patients (group I) with a mean age of 66.2 (31-96) were surgically treated with a planned marginal resection and epineurectomy for liposarcoma with known sciatic nerve involvement between March 1997 and January 2015.
