Pyriformis syndrome is considered to be related to pyriformis muscle injury, and when ultrasound examination is performed, it usually suggests that the transverse diameter of the pyriformis muscle is enlarged, the outer membrane is thickened, the echogenicity is uneven, and the inferior pyriformis foramen is narrowed or disappeared, accompanied by sciatic nerve degeneration or poorly displayed.
Ultrasound is an imaging examination, and when patients with pyriformis syndrome undergo imaging examination, the symptoms mentioned above, such as increased transverse diameter of the pyriformis muscle, thickening of the outer membrane, uneven echogenicity, etc., are conducive to the initial diagnosis of pyriformis syndrome, and at the same time, X-rays and magnetic resonance can also be carried out, so as to ascertain whether there are deformities, fractures, tumors and other conditions.
For pyriformis syndrome, it is mainly necessary to cooperate with the doctor to take pyriformis test, straight leg raising test and strengthening test to clarify the examination. At the same time, you can also use electromyography to make a differential diagnosis of the disease.
If the symptoms of pyriformis syndrome are not relieved, or accompanied by other symptoms, you should go to the hospital in a timely manner, to identify the cause and then give targeted treatment.
