53. Piriformis In relation to Common Peroneal Nerve | Clinical Pearls | Sciatica Simplified🦵

Normally, the sciatic nerve exits the greater sciatic foramen below the piriformis and then divides into the tibial and common peroneal nerves near the popliteal fossa. However, anatomical variations occur in up to 15% of individuals, where the common peroneal nerve may pass through the piriformis muscle belly or above it, while the tibial component stays below 🔍. These variants can lead to compression of the common peroneal nerve, especially during hypertrophy, spasm, or fibrosis of the piriformis — contributing to Piriformis Syndrome or atypical sciatica, which may present as radiating pain, tingling, or weakness over the lateral leg and dorsum of the foot 👣. In such cases, patients may exhibit features of common peroneal neuropathy, such as foot drop, further complicating diagnosis. 🎓 Understanding this critical anatomical relationship is essential for interpreting atypical sciatic presentations, guiding nerve blocks, and avoiding surgical complications. 💡 #PiriformisSyndrome #CommonPeronealNerve #SciaticaExplained #GlutealAnatomy #NEETPG2025 #FMGE2025 #USMLEPrep #FootDrop #PiriformisMuscle #AnatomyMadeEasy #MedicalYouTube #SciaticNerve #MBBSAnatomy #DrGBhanuPrakash #ConceptualMedicine
