pelvic wall and is the major route for structures to pass between the pelvis and regio glutea of
extremitas inferior. The margin of the foramen are formed by.
 Incisura ischiadica major.
 Lig. Sacrospinosum and sacrotuberosum.
 Lateral border of the sacrum.
m. piriformis passes through the foramen ischiadicum and divide the foramen into foramen
suprapiriformis; superior to the muscle and foramen infrapiriformis; inferior to the muscle.
Content.
Foramen suprapiriformis.
 N. gluteus superior.
 A/v. gluteus superior.
Foramen infrapiriformis.
 N. ischiadicus.
 N. pudeda interna.
 N. glutea inferior
 N. cutaneus femoris posterior.
 Nerve to m. gamellus superior and m. obturator internus.
 Nerve to m quadratus femoris and m gamellus inferior.
 A/v. glutea inferior.
 A/v . pudenda interna.
Foramen ischiadicum minus (lesser sciatic foramen), is inferior to foramen ischiadicum majus
on the pasterolateral of pelvic wall. The margin of foramen are formed by.
 Incisura ischiadicum minus.
 Lig sacrospinosum superiorly.
 Lig. Sacrotuberosum inferomedially.
Content.
 Tendon of m obturotor internus.
