⚙ AI-generated summary by qwen3.7-flash, 2026-08-29 ⓘ

This case report identifies the right inferior gemellus muscle as a rare cause of non-discogenic sciatica in a 51-year-old female, highlighting magnetic resonance imaging utility for differential diagnosis when piriformis syndrome treatment fails.

The provided text consists entirely of journal metadata, publishing policies, and administrative information for the Turkish Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, rather than the scientific content of the article itself. Consequently, it is impossible to summarize the study's methods, population, or findings regarding musculus gemellus inferior as a cause of sciatica because the actual manuscript body is absent from the input. The title indicates the paper likely addresses a rare anatomical cause of non-discogenic sciatica, but no empirical data or clinical conclusions are present in the supplied excerpt. Relevance to endometriosis: The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Herein, we report a 51-year-old female with complaint of right sciatica. According to physical examination, the etiology was suspected as piriformis syndrome. Therefore, piriformis injection was administered and piriformis stretching exercises were recommended.However the complains did not resolve. Magnetic resonance imaging showed hyperintensity of the right inferior musculus gemellus. One of the main causes of extra-spinal sciatica is piriformis syndrome. However, other pelvic muscles anatomically near the sciatic nerve are often overlooked. Magnetic resonance imaging is useful in the differential diagnosis from intractable piriformis syndrome, particularly in cases resistant to treatment.
