Anatomical variation of neuromuscular structures of the gluteal region is common. The piriformis muscle, in particular, has an important relationship with the sciatic nerve and may be associated with distinct clinical conditions. We report an incidental finding of unilateral piriformis muscle agenesis diagnosed on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, a rare anatomical variant of the gluteal region.
臀区神经肌肉结构的解剖变异很常见。尤其是梨状肌,它与坐骨神经有着重要的关系,并且可能与特定的临床情况相关。我们报告了一例通过计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像诊断出的单侧梨状肌缺如的偶然发现,这是一种罕见的臀区解剖变异。
