Findings: A 40-year-old woman was presumptively diagnosed as having sacroiliac joint dysfunction and we performed a fluoroscopically guided sacroiliac joint injection. Many hours after the procedure, the patient developed severe buttock pain spreading to the posterior aspect of the femur on the left side. A pelvic magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 9 x 4 x 5.5 cm sized hematoma extending from the left obturator to the perirectal region. Conclusions: Because of anatomical variations, the practitioner should be alert to the risk of damaging vascular structures when performing therapeutic injections.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessComplicationSacroiliac injectionPerirectal hematomaRehabilitationRheumatologyArticle0003332331000142-s2.0-8489669643799101221https://doi.org/10.3109/10582452.2014.883032RehabilitationRheumatologySacroiliac Joint; Arthralgia; Low Back PainAdultAnalgesiaAnatomical variationArticleButtockCase reportConservative treatmentDefecation disorderDisease severityFemaleFluoroscopyHematomaHumanImmobilizationInfectious arthritisLow back painMedical device complicationMicturition disorderPelvisPhysical examinationRisk assessmentSacroiliac jointSpinal needleUrinary catheter
