The Dual Innervation of the Gluteus Maximus Associated with Other Anatomical Variations of the Gluteal Region
The gluteus maximus (GM) is a big quadrilateral musculature that lines the rear portion of the pelvis. It is innervated by the inferior gluteal nerve. The sciatic nerve, inferior gluteal nerve, and posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh are branches of the sacral plexus. The superior and inferior gl...

| description | The gluteus maximus (GM) is a big quadrilateral musculature that lines the rear portion of the pelvis. It is innervated by the inferior gluteal nerve. The sciatic nerve, inferior gluteal nerve, and posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh are branches of the sacral plexus. The superior and inferior gluteal arteries are the chief arterial supply to the gluteal region. In the present case, there was a dual innervation of the GM. The superior gluteal artery and the superior gluteal nerve was piercing the piriformis and the inferior gluteal artery was running between the posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh and the inferior gluteal nerve. According to our literature review, anatomical studies in which this cadaveric procedure has been performed have not been previously reported. The anatomical variations of the gluteal region are important to surgeons, physicians, anatomists, and nurses. |
