Background: Sacroiliac joint injection continues to play a role in the diagnosis and therapeutic management of patients with sacroiliac joint arthropathy, as it provides pain relief and improvement in function to those patients. It is considered a low-risk pain procedure with minimal to no adverse side effects. Although rare, serious com-plications such as infection and hematoma are a possibility, however. In anticoagulated patients, interventional pain physicians are advised to weigh the risks and benefits before discontinuing anticoagulation. The literature describes serious complications associated with stopping anticoagulation, such as myocardial infarction. Howev-er, we should also be mindful of the possibility of intramuscular hematoma formation in anticoagulated patients receiving a fluoroscopically guided sacroiliac joint injection. Case Report: This case exposes the development of a 300-mL hematoma in the right gluteus maximus muscle after a fluoro-scopically guided sacroiliac joint injection in a patient who was taking warfarin. Consequently, she also developed neurologic symptoms such as new-onset urinary retention, weakness, and decreased sensation in her right leg. Conclusion: Pain physicians should be mindful of the risks and benefits before deciding to hold or discontinue anticoagulation in patients undergoing fluoroscopically guided sacroiliac joint injection, as intramuscular hematomas are a possible complication. Key words: Anticoagulation, hematoma, sacroiliac joint arthropathy, sacroiliac joint injection complications

In clinical practice, we encounter mechanical lesions of the ischiadic nerve most frequently with a trauma of the pelvis circle or because of surgical injury in the alloplastic treatment of the hip joint. Other causes for nerve lesions are sporadic or even rare. To such ones also belongs compression of the nerve by metastasis of a urethra carcinoma to the gluteus maximus muscle. A typical manifestation of this nerve injury is a tibioperoneal paresis with a preponderance in its peroneal component. The diagnostic process can be additionally complicated by a contemporal vertebrogenic syndrome with radiculopathy, the more so, when an intervertebral disc protrusion on imaging would be discovered. We present a case of a woman with a two-year history of an undifferentiated urethra carcinoma which has metastasized into the gluteus muscle and has produced a compression of the ischiadic nerve.
