Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Obstetrics
  • Case Reports

Background:

  • Postpartum neuropathies affect lower extremities in ~1% of deliveries.
  • Sciatic neuropathy is documented after cesarean sections, but not vaginal births.

Observation:

  • A 30-year-old primiparous woman experienced left lower extremity weakness and paresthesia post-vaginal delivery.
  • Symptoms included ankle plantar flexor weakness and calf/sole paresthesia.
  • Diagnostic workup included MRI, nerve conduction studies, and EMG.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis: left sciatic neuropathy proximal to the biceps femoris branch.
  • Spontaneous resolution of motor weakness and paresthesia occurred within 3 months.
  • Follow-up studies confirmed near-complete recovery.

Implications:

  • Sciatic neuropathy is a potential complication of normal vaginal delivery, even without complications.
  • This case suggests a good prognosis for postpartum sciatic neuropathy.
  • Highlights the importance of considering neuropathy in postpartum lower extremity weakness.
