Abstract

Introduction: Sciatic nerve is the longest and thickest nerve of the human body which divides into two branches in popliteal fossa. Variations of sciatic nerve can be observed during the course of the nerve. These anatomical variations contribute to some clinical manifestations such as piriformis syndrome, sciatalgia.
