[Endometriosis of the sciatic nerve]

This case report describes a rare instance of endometriosis affecting the sciatic nerve, presenting with symptoms mimicking sciatica. The authors utilized computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging to diagnose the condition, followed by a biopsy for confirmation. The paper highlights the diagnostic challenge of distinguishing neural endometriosis from more common causes of leg pain and emphasizes the importance of advanced imaging techniques in identifying extrapelvic lesions. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically the rare presentation of deep infiltrating endometriosis involving the sciatic nerve.
