Anococcygeal Nerve and Sitting Pain: Differential Diagnosis and Treatment Results

Conclusions The ACN must be included in the differential diagnosis of sitting pain. It is most often injured by a fall. The ACN can be evaluated with a diagnostic nerve block, can be identified at surgery, and can be resected, and its proximal end can be implanted into the coccygeus muscle. This surgery may prove an alternative to coccygectomy.
