Intrapartum Maternal Lumbosacral Plexopathy

Abstract

Maternal intrapartum neurologic injuries are infrequently reported in modern obstetric practice. Two cases are presented and methods of evaluating the level of injury to differentiate this syndrome from peroneal nerve palsies are suggested. The long-term prognosis of lumbosacral plexus injuries encountered during labor and delivery appears to be favorable. Nonetheless, future intrapartum management of these patients should be conservative.
