Abstract

We describe a clinical case of a piriformis syndrome in a patient with lumboischialgia. A technique of botulinum toxin therapy is described which was performed under neuroimaging control, i.e., with pelvic computerized tomography, that allowed for an accurate injection of the botulinum toxin into the deeply located muscle. Insufficient accuracy in determination of the injection site based on external reference points was shown.
