Pseudoaneurysms of the inferior gluteal artery are rare. We describe a case of an inferior gluteal pseudoaneurysm that presented as a painful mass in the buttock. A percutaneous thrombin injection under ultrasound guidance failed to occlude the sac, probably due to the wide neck of the aneurysm. Subsequently, transluminal coil embolization by ultrasound-guided direct puncture of the inferior gl...

Sciatic nerve injury is one of the frequent mononeuropathies in children that occurs due to different causes such as nerve compression, trauma and stretch during surgery. Gluteal injection is an uncommon cause of sciatic injury in developed countries. Poor techniques and frequent injections are the common cause of injection palsy. Proneal division of the sciatic nerve is more prone to injury du...

AIM Sciatic nerve injury is the most frequent and serious complication of intramuscular gluteal injection. This study aims to highlight the incidence and causes of this continuing problem and to discuss the relevant literature. < p < MATERIAL and METHODS: A total of 217 subjects who were diagnosed with sciatic nerve injury in our neurophysiology laboratory between 2003 and 2013 were examined. S...

Long Acting Injectable (LAI) medications for patients with schizophrenia is commonly administered to relieve their symptoms. Through shared decision-making and clinical evidence-based, psychiatrists should systematically offer LAIs to all patients requiring long-term antipsychotic treatment as a first-line treatment. Gluteal intramuscular (IM) injection requires accurate insertion of needles in...

Pain following depot intramuscular (IM) injection of oil vehicle-based drugs has been little studied. This study aimed to determine prospectively the prevalence, determinants, severity and functional consequences of pain during the week after IM injection of 1 000 mg testosterone undecanoate (TU) in a 4-mL castor oil vehicle. Androgen-deficient men receiving regular T replacement therapy at an ...

BACKGROUND Recent international guidelines recommend intra-articular corticosteroid injections for patients with hip osteoarthritis who have moderate to severe pain and do not respond satisfactorily to oral analgesic/anti-inflammatory agents. Of the five available randomized controlled trials, four showed positive effects with respect to pain reduction. However, intra-articular injection in the...

Intramuscular drug injection in the gluteal region is often the most frequent cause of sciatic nerve injury in preterm newborns. Local anatomic variation is one of the predisposing causes of iatrogenic sciatic nerve injury. The aim of this morphological study was to assess the relationship of sciatic nerve with the piriformis muscle and to elucidate variations of fusion of piriformis with neigh...
