is gluteal autoaugmentation. Most articles focusing on the buttock region in a massive weight loss patient propose some form of auto-augmentation by using the surplus tissue. However, in a certain type of patient, this form of augmentation may not be possible due to the pronounced weight loss with lacking tissue volume. Additionally, creating flaps and burying them subcutaneously can also lead ...

Gluteal artery aneurysms are uncommon among all aneurysms and are usually a result of trauma. Streptococcus viridans bacteremia has been described in rare cases of extracranial mycotic aneurysms. Despite a variable clinical presentation, mycotic aneurysms of the superior gluteal artery could be the cause in patients with unexplained sciatica pain. Here we report a very rare case of spontaneous ...

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...

Drug-related eruptions that appear only on intertriginous or flexural folds and in gluteal areas have recently been termed symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE). We report a case of a 56-year-old woman with acute erythematous rash in the intertriginous areas after treatment with the L-valine ester of acyclovir, valacyclovir. Oral-challenge tests resulted in ery...

In humans, adipose tissue is distributed in subcutaneous abdominal and subcutaneous gluteal depots that comprise a variety of functional differences. Whereas energy storage in gluteal adipose tissue has been shown to mediate a protective effect, an increase of abdominal adipose tissue is associated with metabolic disorders. However, the molecular basis of depot-specific characteristics is not c...

Massive weight loss (MWL) patients have unique and severe gluteal deformities that demand alternative body contouring solutions because they are rarely candidates for gluteal implants. Techniques for autologous gluteal augmentation (AGA) with circumferential body lift (CBL) are offered as a solution to this problem. Experience with these techniques will allow surgeons to extend AGA to other aes...

Gluteal abscess is a well-documented presentation of a caries spine and other local bony foci of tuberculosis. Still, during a PUBMED data search, only one report of vertebral tuberculosis presenting only as a gluteal abscess in adults was found in English medical literature. The current article describes a case of tuberculosis of the lumbar spine with gluteal abscess as the only clinical featu...

Gluteal syndrome (GS), a new low-back-pain subtype mimicking sciatica, has been included in the 11th Revision of International Classification Diseases (ICD-11). Low back pain is symptom, not disease, and main problem associated with it complexity. A plausible generator gluteal central sensitization process therapeutic target area, which are trigger points located within muscles. It hypothesized...

I n the report by Yin et al, 1 the statement that “many clinicians may misinterpret these directions (in paliperidone palmitate product monograph) to mean that these intramuscular sites (deltoid or gluteal) are interchangeable, and thus therapeutically equivalent” is, in our opinion, not correct. We are writing to clarify some statements from the Yin et al article concerning the deltoid versus ...
