  • Title: Alcock canal syndrome due to obturator internus muscle fibrosis.
    Author: Insola A, Granata G, Padua L.
    Journal: Muscle Nerve; 2010 Sep; 42(3):431-2. PubMed ID: 20665515.
    Abstract:
    Alcock canal syndrome is a rare entrapment neuropathy of the pudendal nerve. We report a case of perineal neuralgia where pudendal nerve compression was due to fibrosis of the obturator internus muscle following an injury of the muscle. After being misdiagnosed for 2 years, the patient was diagnosed only after a combined neurophysiologic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) investigation. This case underlines the importance of performing focused neurophysiologic and neuroimaging studies in patients with neuropathic perineal pain in order to reach a correct diagnosis.
