Abstract
In 59.6% of cases, no variation of the piriformis muscle and sciatic nerve were found. In 26% of cases, the sciatic nerve was divided into the pelvis. In 9.6% of cases, it was divided into the pelvis, the piriformis muscle was bifid and the common peroneal nerve ran between both heads. The piriformis muscle was bifid in 10.6% of cases, hypertrophic in 13.5% of cases and atrophic in 2.9% of cases.
