Flashcard 5: Ganglion cysts are often found in association and in communication with _____ on the dorsum of the hand

Answer: synovial sheaths

Flashcard 6: Piriformis syndrome is caused by hypertrophy or injury to the piriformis muscle, compressing structures traveling through the ____. Name the 8 structures passing below the piriformis muscle:

Answer: Greater sciatic foramen 1. Sciatic nerve 2. Inferior gluteal nerve 3. Inferior gluteal vessels 4. Internal pudendal vessels 5. Pudendal nerve 6. Posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh 7. Nerve to obturator internus 8. Nerve to quadratus femoris

Extra: Structures passing through the greater sciatic foramen (GSF) are categorized by their relationship to the piriformis muscle: **Above Piriformis:** 1. Superior gluteal nerve 2. Superior gluteal artery 3. Superior gluteal vein **Below Piriformis:** 1. Sciatic nerve (most commonly compressed in Piriformis Syndrome) 2. Inferior gluteal nerve 3. Inferior gluteal vessels 4. Internal pudendal vessels 5. Pudendal nerve 6. Posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh 7. Nerve to obturator internus 8. Nerve to quadratus femoris *Note: The pudendal nerve and internal pudendal vessels pass out of the GSF and back into the lesser sciatic foramen to reach the perineum.*
