Abstract
This is apparently the 1st reported case of an intrauterine device causing sciatic nerve-root irritation. The case emphasizes the importance of a complete history, careful physical examination, and thorough roentgenographic evaluation of all patients with low-back pain and sciatica, not to mention the multiplicity of causes of sciatic pain. In this case, sciatic irritation was caused by an intrauterine device that had penetrated the uterine wall and migrated to the vicinity of the 1st sacral nerve roots though remaining intrapelvic and intraperitoneal.
