Abstract Introduction Sciatica is a common problem usually caused by disc herniation or spinal stenosis. Low back pain is also present in most cases. When sciatica is the unique clinical finding especially in young patients extraspinal pathology should be investigated. Case presentation We describe a rare case of sciatica in a 32-year-old man which was developed as a complication of post-traumatic pelvic heterotopic ossification. During the operation the sciatic nerve was found to be bluish distorted and compressed in an hourglass fashion around a heterotopic bone mass. The heterotopic bone tissue 4 cm in diameter was removed and the patient had fully recovered 3 months after the operation. .
