Ischial osteochondroma as an unusual source of pregnancy-related sciatic pain: a case report

ConclusionThe key distinguishing features that led to a diagnosis of osteochondroma in this case included attention to the patient-reported symptoms and history, worsening of symptoms despite conservative care, and lack of explanatory findings on lumbar imaging. This case highlights the benefit of evaluating the hip and pelvis when the clinical features of sciatica cannot be ascribed to a lumbar etiology. This case also illustrates the role of a chiropractor working in an integrative health system to facilitate timely imaging and referrals to resolve a challenging diagnosis.
