This paper reports a clinical case of sciatic endometriosis presenting as periodic (catamenial) sciatic radiculopathy, describing symptom timing in relation to menstrual cycles and the presentation consistent with sciatic nerve involvement. The authors frame the case as an example of extrapelvic endometriosis affecting the sciatic nerve, which can produce cyclic radicular symptoms. A key limitation is that the evidence is confined to a single case with no broader diagnostic or outcome analysis. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it documents sciatic endometriosis presenting with catamenial sciatic radiculopathy.
