Article Synopsis
- Sciatica is typically linked to nerve issues but can also arise from rare causes like hydatid cysts, as shown in a case where a thigh cyst produced similar symptoms.
- A 40-year-old patient with a history of tuberculosis experienced persistent pain that MRI revealed was caused by a hydatid cyst, leading to successful surgical removal.
- Diagnosing such atypical causes requires careful imaging and serological tests, highlighting the need for healthcare providers to consider uncommon etiologies to improve treatment outcomes for patients with resistant sciatica.
To underscore the importance of evaluating the entrapment of the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve (PFCN) in patients exhibiting symptoms in the posterior thigh region. A 42-year-old male dentist, initially diagnosed with a semitendinosus muscle tear and persistent pain and tingling in the posterior thigh, sought treatment at our outpatient clinic. Despite unsuccessful physiotherapy, a comprehensive evaluation revealed an unusual entrapment of the PFCN between the sacrotuberous ligament and the semitendinosus muscle stump.
