We reported a 58-year-old man with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy who had acute compression neuropathy of the sciatic nerve after prolonged sitting position. MRI and percutaneous electric stimulation studies were usefull for the diagnosis. Gd-DTPA T1-weighted MRI images showed the enhanced right sciatic nerve at the level of gluteus maximus muscle. An evoked potential study by a percutaneous electric stimulation revealed evidence of a conduction block at the same level. After methylprednisolone pulse therapy, muscle weakness and sensory disturbance improved. Acute compression neuropathy of the sciatic nerve may be seen as a complication in the advanced stage of (FSH) muscular dystrophy.
