In this report, we present the case of a patient with cervical adenocarcinoma progressive right lower-extremity pain and weakness. Electromyography lower extremities subsequent ultrasonographic imaging complementarily demonstrated findings considered suspicious for perineural spread malignancy to lumbosacral plexus sciatic nerve. This possibility was confirmed by magnetic resonance (MRI) fluoro...

Introduction. The lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) surgical approach has potential advantages over other approaches but is associated with some unique neurologic risks due to the proximity of the lumbosacral plexus. The present study analyzed complications following LLIF surgical approach using a novel single flat-blade retractor system. Methods. A retrospective data collection of patient...

The straight leg raising test and the femoral nerve stretch test exert traction on the sciatic and femoral nerve, and the lumbosacral plexus and roots. In 40 patients with a suspected L4/5 disc protrusion, ipsilateral sciatica was induced by the femoral nerve stretch test. We believe that this is a pathognomonic sign of a lateral protrusion at L4/5 level.

Extranodal nerve system involvement is seen in approximately 5% of the patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. It causes as primary or secondary infiltration of brain, leptomeninges, or peripheral nerves and the signs of spinal cord compression. Here we present a 67-year-old woman with advanced stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who developed foot-drop due to lumbosacral plexus involvement.

Neurolymphomatosis is a rare manifestation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by infiltration of peripheral nerves, nerve roots, plexus and cranial nerves by malignant lymphocytes. This report presents positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT)imaging with 2-deoxy-2-18F-fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) in 3 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with nerve infiltration, including one newly d...

Clinical localisation of a disc prolapse required dependable knowledge of the muscles supplied by the lumbosacral nerve roots. Localisation is most difficult in the 10 per cent of patients who have lumbosacral bony segmental anomalies. The lumbosacral plexus has been dissected in 11 cadavers with such anomalies and electrical stimulation studies carried out in 15 patients similarly afflicted. I...

Abstract Background Lumbosacral plexus is a collection of nerves that converge and diverge finally merge into terminal innervate the pelvis lower limbs. plexopathy clinical disease characterized by motor sensory abnormalities can result from damage to lumbosacral different types insults. Electrophysiological studies are used demonstrate presence radiculo-plexopathy, but it restricted owing deep...
