During routine dissection of a 60 years male cadaver, it was observed that the two divisions of sciatic nerve were separate in the gluteal region on both the sides with the tibial nerve passing below the piriformis and the common peroneal nerve piercing the piriformis muscle. The abnormal passage of the sciatic nerve (SN), the common peroneal nerve (CPN), and the tibial nerve (TN), either through the piriformis or below the superior gemellus may facilitate compression of these nerves. Knowledge of such patterns is also important for surgeons dealing with piriformis syndrome which affects 5-6% of patients referred for the treatment of back and leg pain. A high division may also account for frequent failures reported with the popliteal block. Keywords: eventration, piriformis muscle, piriformis syndrome, sciatic nerve

AbstractLower leg pain is a common complaint of athletically active individuals, often limiting physical activities. As such, the group of lower leg conditions related to athletic pursuits and physical exercise confer considerable operational implications for the military. Whilst acute injuries to the lower limb are commonly encountered and are clearly of significance, this article focuses instead on chronic conditions related to physical activity. These include insults to bone such as stress fractures and medial tibial stress syndrome, and those related to the soft tissues such as chronic exertional compartment syndrome. In this article we will examine the presentation and management of these conditions.

El nervio ciático sale de la pelvis y entra en la  región glútea debajo del  músculo piriforme como un único tronco. Tiene dos componentes: el nervio peroneo común y el  nervio tibial. La relación variable del nervio ciático con el músculo piriforme y su longitud hace que el nervio sea vulnerable a las lesiones. Estudiamos la relación variable del nervio ciático en sesenta extremidades inferiores de treinta cadáveres y encontramos el nervio ciático emergiendo indiviso por debajo del músculo piriforme en el 68,33% de los casos, pero en el 31,66% el nervio ciático estaba dividido arriba en la pelvis. En el 18,33% de los casos el componente peroneo común emergió arriba y en el 13,33% de los casos emergió a través del  músculo piriforme. Pensamos que tener un conocimiento adecuado sobre la anatomía del  nervio ciático es bueno para los resultados clínicos.  Sciatic nerve leaves the pelvis and enters the gluteal region below the piriformis muscle as single trunk. It has two components common peroneal nerve and the tibial nerve. The variable relationship of sciatic nerve with the piriformis muscle and its long course makes the nerve vulnerable to injury. We studied sciatic nerve variable relation in sixty lower extremities of thirty cadavers and found the sciatic nerve emerging undivided below the piriformis muscle in 68.33% of cases but in 31.66% the sciatic nerve divided high in the pelvis. In 18.33% cases the common peroneal component emerged above and in 13.33% of cases it emerged through the piriformis muscle. We think proper knowledge of the anatomy of the sciatic nerve is good for clinical outcomes
