  Fig. 1. Ultrasound findings of the left and right gluteal regions. In contrast to (A) the left healthy side, (B) enlargement and absence of the fibrillary pattern in the medial region of the right quadratus femoris muscle (asterisk) is seen. GMax, gluteus maximus; IST, ischial tuberosity; SN, sciatic nerve; GT, greater trochanter; OE, obturator externus.

  Fig. 2. (A) Power Doppler ultrasound image shows the right medial femoral circumflex artery (red arrow) seen between the quadratus femoris (asterisk) and obturator externus muscles. (B) Using an in-plane approach, ultrasound-guided injection of 5-mL 50% dextrose and 5-mL 1% lidocaine was administered into the right quadratus femoris muscle (asterisk). Arrows, needle trajectory. GMax, gluteus maximus; IST, ischial tuberosity; SN, sciatic nerve; GT, greater trochanter.
