Abstract
Sciatic hernia is one of the rarely pelvic floor hernias. We report a 45-year-old woman who presented with acute crampy pain of hypogastrium which radiated down the back of the left thigh and found a mass in her left buttock area which is about fist size with local pain, so she had to force to bow position when walking. She was also associated with definite gastro-intestinal symptoms. Computed tomography (CT) of the pelvis and abdomen demonstrated the herniation of an ileal loop through the sciatic foramen on the left side. The diagnosis and management of this case are herein described and previous publications on sciatic hernias are reviewed.
