A rare case of Alcock's syndrome, caused by tumor compression of the pudendal nerve, is presented. Spine surgeons should consider this syndrome in patients with unusual sciatica symptoms.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Oncology
Spine Surgery

Background:

Alcock's syndrome is a rare condition affecting the pudendal nerve.
Pudendal nerve compression can lead to various symptoms, including atypical sciatica.

Observation:

This report details a unique case of Alcock's syndrome.
The syndrome was caused by a tumor compressing the pudendal nerve.

Findings:

Tumoral compression is a potential etiology for Alcock's syndrome.
The case highlights an unusual cause of pudendal nerve neuropathy.

Implications:

Spine surgeons should include Alcock's syndrome in their differential diagnosis for patients with atypical sciatica.
Increased awareness can lead to earlier diagnosis and appropriate management of pudendal nerve compression.
