Abstract
Background- The sciatic nerve is indeed the largest nerve in the human body, arising from the lumbosacral plexus and carrying both tibial and common peroneal components. Its course and relationship to the piriformis muscle are important considerations due to potential variations that may impact clinical procedures and cause conditions such as sciatica and piriformis syndrome.
