摘要：
Anatomical variation of neuromuscular structures of the gluteal region is common. The piriformis muscle, in particular, has an important relationship with the sciatic nerve and may be associated with distinct clinical conditions. We report an incidental finding of unilateral piriformis muscle agenesis diagnosed on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, a rare anatomical variant of the gluteal region.
