title: [The posterior sacral plexus].
abstract: The posterior sacral branches, when connecting, form the posterior sacral plexus and its terminal branch, the posterior gluteal nerve that we suggest be called the inter-gluteal nerve because of its course and territory. Apart from their anatomic interest, their lesions can explain some neuralgias in sacrococcygeal attacks.
