Abstract
William Ciurylo and Terence K. Gray
Piriformis syndrome presents as pain in the low back, buttock, groin, and/or posterior thigh due to excessive contraction of the piriformis muscle irritating the sciatic nerve [1-13]. It predominantly is reported to occur in the middle-aged and in women [7,14]. Diagnosis of piriformis syndrome is established using palpation, special tests, and/or local anesthetic and steroid injection [5, 15-17].
