Abstract

This case report expresses a 47-year-old lady diagnosed with sacroiliitis that led to the develop ment of piriformis muscle syndrome. The interconnected nature of these conditions underscores the importance of comprehensive assessment and treatment. The patient presented with lower back pain and left sciatica. Conservative treatment and rehabilitation were employed, resulting in improved patient outcomes. This report highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach, including skeletal scintigraphy to manage sacroiliitis and piriformis muscle syndrome in order to achieve optimal patient care and minimize the need for invasive procedures.
