An intrapelvic aneurysm caused sciatica in a patient. Surgical treatment of the aneurysm relieved sciatica symptoms, highlighting the importance of considering extraspinal causes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Sciatica can be caused by extraspinal conditions, mimicking lumbar disc protrusion symptoms.
  • Extraspinal causes of sciatica are often overlooked in differential diagnoses.
  • Advancements in spinal imaging may lead to overlooking extraspinal etiologies.

Observation:

  • A case of intrapelvic aneurysm presenting as sciatica is reported.
  • The patient's clinical presentation, investigations, and treatment for an internal iliac artery aneurysm causing sciatica are discussed.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention for the internal iliac artery aneurysm successfully resolved the patient's sciatica.
  • This case underscores the significance of extraspinal pathologies in sciatica etiology.

Implications:

  • Clinical examination and history are crucial for diagnosing sciatica, especially when extraspinal causes are suspected.
  • Relying solely on spinal imaging may lead to missed diagnoses of sciatica originating from extraspinal sources.
  • Considering intrapelvic aneurysms in the differential diagnosis of sciatica is important for effective patient management.
