title: [Endometriosis of the ischio-rectal excavation at the contact of the sciatic nerve: a case report of neurolysis by pararectal incision].
abstract: Localisation of endometriosis on the sciatic nerve is exceptional. We report the case of a patient presenting an endometriotic nodule of the left ischio-rectal excavation, with an extension contiguous to the sciatic nerve, responsible of invalidating sciatalgia. Two laparoscopies did not allow to localise the lesion. Finally the endometriotic nodule was treated by a direct access of the left ischio-rectal excavation through a pararectal incision. In this article we discuss the means to localise such lesion and the surgical approach to propose.
