ABSTRACT
Abstract Injuries of the sciatic nerve are common causes of pain and limitation in the lower limbs. Due to its particular anatomy and its long course, the sciatic nerve is often involved in diseases of the pelvis or leg. In recent years, magnetic resonance neurography has become established as an important tool for the study of peripheral nerves and can be widely applied to the study of the sciatic nerve. Therefore, detailed knowledge of its anatomy and of the most prevalent diseases affecting it is essential to maximizing the accuracy of diagnostic imaging.
RESUMO
Resumo Lesões do nervo ciático são causas comuns de dor e de limitação no membro inferior. Em razão da sua anatomia particular e do seu longo trajeto, o nervo ciático é frequentemente envolvido em doenças da pelve e do membro inferior. Nos últimos anos, a neurografia por ressonância magnética tem se firmado como ferramenta importante para o estudo de nervos periféricos, podendo ser amplamente empregada para o estudo do nervo ciático. Para este fim, o conhecimento detalhado de sua anatomia e das principais doenças envolvidas é fundamental para maximizar o desempenho diagnóstico por imagem.
