This case report describes an atypical presentation of endometriosis with isolated sciatic nerve infiltration, a rare variant of deep endometriosis where diagnosis is often delayed due to nonspecific symptoms.

Abstract

Introduccin: La endometriosis afecta hasta un 10-15% de las mujeres jvenes. Se define como tejido endometrial funcional fuera de la cavidad uterina y su presentacin clsica es la dismenorrea. La variedad profunda afecta a un 1-2% y las localizaciones ms frecuentes son el peritoneo plvico, ovarios, ligamentos tero-sacros y septum recto-vaginal; sin embargo, puede presentarse de forma muy infrecuente como implantes aislados localizados en relacin al nervio citico. El diagnstico habitualmente es complejo y tardo, dado que los sntomas son inespecficos y el examen fsico puede ser indistinguible de otras etiologas. El estudio imagenolgico de eleccin para la endometriosis profunda es la resonancia magntica (RM) de pelvis ya que una adecuada localizacin pre-quirrgica de las lesiones es fundamental.
