Because of this tumor's particular position, a transabdominal or combined transabdominal-gluteal approach is usually used to achieve total resection. However, the transabdominal approach carries a remarkable surgical risk because of the manipulation of intraperitoneal organs. Here, the authors describe a 59-year-old woman harboring a purely intrapelvic sciatic notch schwannoma extrinsic to the sciatic nerve, which was totally removed via the infragluteal approach preserving sciatic function. The postoperative course was uneventful. The infragluteal approach can be safely used for the effective resection of intrapelvic benign neurogenic tumors at the sciatic notch that are extrinsic to the sciatic nerve, avoiding the more invasive and risky transabdominal approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2013.3.jns121161","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,12]],"date-time":"2013-04-12T14:05:06Z","timestamp":1365775506000},"page":"751-755","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Intrapelvic sciatic notch schwannoma: microsurgical excision using the infragluteal approach"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"119","author":[{"given":"Nicola","family":"Montano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mariangela","family":"Novello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Quintino Giorgio","family":"D'Alessandris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicola","family":"Magarelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology, Catholic University School of Medicine, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Pallini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Libero","family":"Lauriola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology, and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eduardo","family":"Fernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-jns121161","series-title":"AJNR Am J Neuroradiol","first-page":"337","article-title":"CT evaluation of the greater sciatic foramen in patients with sciatica","volume":"7","author":"Cohen","year":"1986"},{"key":"b2-jns121161","series-title":"Br J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"46","DOI":"10.1080\/02688690600603776","article-title":"Sciatic schwannoma spanning the sciatic notch: removal by an anterior, transabdominal approach","volume":"20","author":"Consales","year":"2006"},{"key":"b3-jns121161","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"362","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1994.81.3.0362","article-title":"Neural sheath tumors of major nerves","volume":"81","author":"Donner","year":"1994"},{"key":"b4-jns121161","series-title":"J Neurosurg Spine","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"99","DOI":"10.3171\/spi.2005.2.2.0099","article-title":"Sciatica of nondisc origin and piriformis syndrome: diagnosis by magnetic resonance neurography and interventional magnetic resonance imaging with outcome study of resulting treatment","volume":"2","author":"Filler","year":"2005"},{"key":"b5-jns121161","series-title":"Neurosurgery","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1208","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-199512000-00023","article-title":"Hemangiopericytoma of the sciatic notch presenting as sciatica in a young healthy man: case report","volume":"37","author":"Harrison","year":"1995"},{"key":"b6-jns121161","series-title":"J Bone Joint Surg Am","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"603","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-199304000-00016","article-title":"Sciatica caused by a neurilemoma of the intrapelvic portion of the sciatic nerve.
