Abstract
Inferior gluteal nerve entrapment is a rare (or under-recognized) cause of low back and buttock pain. When the piriformis muscle entraps it, the resulting pain is often misdiagnosed as myofascial pain. The inferior gluteal nerve may also be injured during surgery (especially hip surgery) and poorly placed intramuscular injections. Entrapment of this nerve is commonly seen with (and probably masked by) sciatic, superior gluteal, and posterior femoral cutaneous pathologies.
