Abstract
Currently, back pain ranks fourth among the causes of disability of the population. Lumbar pain and pain in the lower back are the most common among the pain syndromes. Tunnel neuropathies of the pelvic girdle including piriformis syndrome are among the particular manifestations of this pathology. The purpose of this article was to summarize modern ideas about the etiology and pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of piriformis syndrome.
