국문 초록

The posterior femoral cutaneous nerve (PFCN) has been widely studied with context to its origin, distribution and mononeuropathies. Due to the vulnerability of the gluteal region to iatrogenic injuries and pressure ulcers etc., an understanding of the cutaneous innervation of the gluteal region holds immense relevance. The communication between the PFCN and the inferior gluteal nerve (IGN) was observed at the back of thigh of a 56-year-old male cadaver while exploring distribution of nerves in gluteal region during routine anatomical dissection. The above communication holds importance in numerous diagnostic and reconstructive procedures. It assumes relevance where nerve blocks in PFCN are needed for surgical procedures in the vicinity of the thigh, knee, and the postero-superior part of the leg. The grade of motor response elicited in IGN on attempted PFCN stimulation could be a reliable determinant of adequate PFCN block.
