Abstract
Aim: Our aim is to investigate the etiological factors and electrophysiological findings. of patients with sciatic nerve injury.
Materials and Methods: In the study, the files of the patients who referred to our electromyography (EMG) laboratory at January 2010-August 2013 were retrospectively investigated. Patients whose nerve conduction study and needle EMG were made with standard techniques were included to the study. Age, sex, etiology and history data of the cases from the files were obtained.
Results: A total of 3225 patients were screened retrospectively. The number of cases admitted with the preliminary diagnosis of sciatic nerve injury was 144 and ultimately sciatic nerve lesion was diagnosed in 50 patients. The ages of patients were between 7-88; 79.6% of patients were male and 20.4% female. Among the etiological factors, femoral fractures ranked first (38%) and intramuscular injections were second (20%). In all cases peroneal nerve injury was detected, however there was no damage of tibial nerve in 14% of the cases. All the patients with tibial nerve lesion was accompanied by the peroneal nerve injury. Also 38% of peroneal nerve injury and 18% of tibial nerve lesions were total. Fracture etiology identified as the most frequent cause with 50% ratio.
Conclusion: Etiologic evaluation and electrophysiological studies has an importanat role for the management of sciatic neuropathy in terms of early diagnosis, optimal treatment and timing.

Siyatik sinir yaralanmalarında etiyolojik faktörler ile elektrofizyolojik bulguların değerlendirilmesi
Abstract
Amaç: Elektromiyografi (EMG) laboratuvarına başvuran siyatik sinir yaralanmalı hastalarda elektrofizyolojik bulgular eşliğinde etiyolojik faktörlerin incelenmesi hedeflendi.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada, Ocak 2010 ile Ağustos 2013 tarihleri arasında elektromiyografi (EMG) laboratuvarında incelenen olgular retrospektif olarak incelendi. Standart yöntemlerle sinir ileti ölçümleri ve iğne elektromiyografisi yapılmış olan hastalar çalışmaya alındı. Hasta dosyalarından olgulara ait yaş, cinsiyet, etiyoloji ve öykü ile ilgili veriler elde edildi.
Bulgular: Geriye dönük olarak toplam 3225 olgu tarandı. Siyatik sinir hasarı şüphesiyle EMG laboratuvarına gönderilen olgu sayısı 144’tü; 50 olguda siyatik sinir hasarı saptandı. Çalışmaya alınan hastaların yaşları 7-88 arasındaydı. Hastaların %80’i erkek, %20’si kadındı. Etiyolojik nedenler arasında %38 ile femur fraktürü ilk sırada yer alırken %20 ile im enjeksiyonlar ikinci sıradaydı. Vakaların tümünde peroneal sinir hasarı saptandı,%14’ünde tibial sinirde hasarlanma yoktu. Tibial sinir hasarı olan olguların hepsinde peroneal sinir hasarı bulunuyordu. Peroneal sinir yaralanmalarının %38’i, tibial sinir yaralanmalarının ise %18’i total tutulumluydu. En sık neden olarak saptanan kırık etiyolojisinin oranı %50 idi.
Sonuç: Siyatik nöropatilerin yönetiminde, etiyolojik değerlendirme ve elektrofizyolojik inceleme erken tanı, optimal tedavi ve zamanlama açısından önemli yer tutmaktadır.
