| Summary: | Piriformis syndrome (PS) is a syndrome consisting of symptoms that occur due to compression of the sciatic nerve at the level of the piriformis muscle (PM).

In this study, we report a 64 years old female case presented with peroneal neuropathy symptoms without gluteal pain and sciatica and treated using ultrasound-guided PM injection successfully. |
