    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Lumbosacral plexus neuropathy can present with significant pain and motor deficits.
    • Idiopathic brachial plexus neuropathy is a well-recognized clinical syndrome.

    Observation:

    • This study details 10 cases of lumbosacral plexus neuropathy.
    • Patients experienced pain and weakness, with delayed and incomplete recovery.
    • No underlying cause was identified even after a 6-year follow-up.

    Findings:

    • The described lumbosacral neuropathy shares features with idiopathic brachial plexus neuropathy.
    • Symptoms may be misdiagnosed as lumbar disc disease or sciatica.
    • This idiopathic neuropathy appears to affect the lower plexus.

    Implications:

    • Recognizing this distinct neuropathy is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
    • It highlights a potential counterpart to idiopathic brachial plexus neuropathy.
    • Further research may elucidate the pathogenesis of idiopathic lumbosacral plexus neuropathy.
