Bilateral Sciatic Neuropathies as a Complication of Positioning During Neuraxial Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery: A Case Report.

Neurologic complications following neuraxial anesthesia for cesarean delivery are rare. We present a 33-year-old parturient who developed prolonged lower extremity weakness following a single-shot subarachnoid block for cesarean delivery. After neurologic evaluation, she was diagnosed with bilateral sciatic neuropathies due to prolonged positioning for the anesthetic.
