An overlooked nerve ın neuropathies associated with ıntragluteal ınjections: the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve.
The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of posterior femoral cutaneous nerve (PFCN) lesions in patients referred to the electrophysiology laboratory with an initial diagnosis of sciatic nerve lesion following injection, and to create awareness that PFCN lesions can occur following intramuscular injections administered to the gluteal region. ⋯ As correct diagnosis is the priority starting point for successful treatment, clinicians should plan examinations taking into consideration the fact that PFCN lesions can occur following gluteal region injection.

Is the Placement, Maintenance, and Removal of Femoral and Sciatic Catheters Associated With Bleeding Complications in Vascular Patients on Antithrombotics? A Single-Center, Retrospective Cohort Study.
Information on the safety of placement, maintenance, and removal of peripheral nerve blocks in the presence of therapeutic or prophylactic antithrombotics is limited to case reports. ⋯ This report investigates bleeding complications of femoral and sciatic perineural catheters in patients undergoing LLA on antithrombotics. We found that, except for 1 patient, most patients on varying combinations of antithrombotics did not experience bleeding complications related to the femoral and sciatic perineural catheters.
