Lumbosacral plexopathy (LSP) is a rare entity characterized by acute onset of pain followed by sensory and motor deficits, reflex changes and muscle atrophy. The diagnosis is based on clinical and EMG findings. LSP can result from pelvic tumors, infections, trauma, abdominopelvic or spinal surgery, radiation, intravenous drug abuse, diabetic neuropathy, vasculitis or maybe idiopathic. We present a case report of LSP following spinal surgery treated by pulse steroid and immunotherapy.

Article Synopsis
- The brachial and lumbosacral plexuses are essential neural networks that connect the spinal cord to the limbs, involved in sending various types of signals throughout the body.
- Disorders of these plexuses can lead to significant disabilities since they affect multiple nerve fibers from different spinal regions, often requiring tests like electrodiagnostic studies and MRIs to assess the damage.
- Treatment primarily focuses on managing symptoms and rehabilitation, but if a specific cause is identified, surgical interventions like nerve grafts may be considered to restore limb function.
