An arteriovenous malformation as a rare cause of sciatic neuropathy: a case report

Abstract

Sciatica is characterized by pain and discomfort
occurring frequently with impingement at the level of spinal nerve along the
regions innervated by the sciatic nerve. Compression and irritation of the
nerve often occurs with a spinal cause such as lumbar disc hernia or spinal
stenosis. Compression of the nerve by an
arteriovenous
malformation
is very rare among the
causes leading to nondiscogenic sciatic neuropathy. Herein, we reported our
case with clinically and electrophysiologically typical sciatic neuropathy and
treated by us surgically.
To our knowlodge, cases with arteriovenous malformation -caused sciatica were
limited in the literature review. Electromyography
should be performed to exclude the nerve
compression due to rare causes such as vascular causes which may lead to
sciatic neuropathy in patients with sciatic distribution symptoms and signs,
after initial negative spine imaging.
