Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Sciatica can originate from various anatomical locations, including the spinal canal and pelvis.
  • Post-surgical sciatica is uncommon, often resulting from nerve root compression due to hematoma, seroma, or abscess.
  • This case highlights sciatica secondary to sciatic neuritis following lumbar decompression surgery.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old female developed sciatica after lumbar decompression surgery.
  • The patient experienced radicular leg pain, diagnosed as sciatic neuritis.
  • A dural tear complicated the post-operative course.

Findings:

  • Pelvic MRI demonstrated significant left sciatic nerve inflammation.
  • The patient experienced rapid pain alleviation following corticosteroid administration.
  • This represents the first reported instance of sciatica stemming from sciatic neuritis post-spine decompression.

Implications:

  • This case expands the differential diagnosis for sciatica after spinal surgery.
  • Early recognition and steroid therapy may be effective for post-surgical sciatic neuritis.
  • Further research is warranted to understand the pathogenesis and optimize management of this rare complication.
