Abstract

An unusual unilateral variation was observed in emerging of sciatic nerve of right gluteal region in an adult male cadaver. The sciatic nerve on the other side of this cadaver followed the normal anatomical course. Such type of higher division of sciatic nerve inside the pelvis though rare is of great academic and clinical significance in neurology, general surgery, orthopaedics, sports medicine, anaesthesiology & Physiotherapy. The knowledge of this variation is also important for paramedics who frequently give intramuscular injections in to the gluteal region.
