Deep gluteal syndrome describes pain going down the leg from the lower back due to nerve irritation in the buttocks (rather than the spine or pelvis). In medical terms, this sciatica is non-discogenic extrapelvic entrapment of the sciatic nerve in the deep gluteal space. It is an extension of non-discogenic sciatic nerve entrapment beyond the traditional model of piriformis syndrome. Where sciatic nerve irritation in the buttocks was once thought of as only piriformis muscle, it is now recognized that there are many other causes. Symptoms are pain or dysthesias (abnormal sensation) in the buttocks, hip, and posterior thigh with or without radiating leg pain. Patients often report pain when sitting. The two most common causes are piriformis syndrome and fibrovascular bands (scar tissue), but many other causes exist. Diagnosis is usually done through physical examination, magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance neurography, and diagnostic nerve blocks. Surgical treatment is an endoscopic sciatic nerve decompression where tissue around the sciatic nerve is removed to relieve pressure.
