ABSTRACT
Attempts at body contour modifications have led to the use of different alloplastic materials that can irreversibly damage health and risk patients' lives. These modeling substances can induce a general autoimmune inflammatory response, producing a very heterogeneous clinical spectrum ranging from mild and severe systemic to local symptoms that sometimes affect peripheral nerves. We report a unique case of a tumor-like sciatic nerve impairment produced months after the injection of a modeling substance into the buttocks for esthetic purposes. The patient was treated with a surgical decompression of the sciatic nerve that encompassed the removal of the injected mass. This approach ultimately yielded a complete neurological recovery of the affected nerve. We emphasize the diagnostic approach and surgical management employed in this unique case and review the current literature on this infrequent complication.
