Pain in the Butt: Spectrum of Gluteal Region Abnormalities in Children

¹ Department of Radiology, The Children's Hospital at Montefiore, Montefiore Medical Center, 111 E 210th St., Bronx, NY 10467.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to illustrate the spectrum of solitary gluteal lesions in children. The distinctive anatomic and radiologic features are discussed.

CONCLUSION. Pathologic entities in the gluteal region reflect the diversity of tissue types present. Ultrasound is valuable for imaging of infants and young children and for evaluating superficial lesions. Cross-sectional imaging is most useful for defining the extent of disease and may show pathognomonic features, enabling a precise diagnosis.
