Özet
Post-injection sciatic neuropathy (PISN) from an inadvertent intramuscular injection in the gluteal region is a type of iatrogenic sciatic nerveinjury. Patients with neuropathic pain following PISN frequently experience disability leading to restrictions in daily activities and pain,which may be resistant to conventional treatments and physiotherapy in some cases. To date, minimal invasive procedures for neuropathicpain have been performed with various medications at the site of lesion. Herein, we report three adult male cases with PISN-associated neuropathicpain who were resistant to conservative management and were treated with fluoroscopy-guided transsacral block.
