description Piriformis syndrome is a rare cause of sciatica, which results in low backache due to sciatic nerve compression. This syndrome is associated with abnormalities in the piriformis muscle, which cause sciatic nerve entrapment, like anatomical variations, muscle hypertrophy, and inflammation. It can also result from the abnormal course of sciatic nerve itself through normal piriformis muscle. Piriformis syndrome due to pyomyositis of the piriformis muscle is extremely rare and only 23 cases are reported in literature. Herein, we report one such rare case of a patient, with pyomyositis of piriformis muscle, who presented with piriformis syndrome.
