“…Other related factors are diabetes, polyarteritis nodosa, infection, and agglutination reaction, and it can also occur due to unknown causes in some cases [8,9]. Lumbosacral plexopathy is not limited to a single nerve root or region but can result in unilateral muscle palsy and changes in sensory function and reflexes [9]. Depending on the affected site, this condition may involve the femoral, obturator, and sciatic nerves and incur motor or sensory paralysis [9].…”

“…The improved outcome was shown in postoperative EMG compared to preoperative EMG (Table 1), and she is currently able to perform the usual activities of daily living. In medical literature search, lumbosacral plexopathy due to a huge uterine myoma has been reported in only three cases, and all patients improved after hysterectomy (Table 2) [9]. Even as an obstetrician/ gynecologist, lumbosacral plexopathy is a rare and unfamiliar disorder, and it is not easy to predict that paresthesia and weakness of the legs and gait disturbance can be caused by compression due to…”

Uterine leiomyoma is the most common benign tumors in females and varies widely in size. Lumbosacral plexopathy is a rare disorder characterized by a sudden onset of leg paresthesia, muscle weakness, and reduction of deep tendon reflexes. This condition usually caused by compression from an abdominal mass, paralysis in mothers during labor, and compression of the lumbosacral plexus by the fetal head during dystocia. This case report presents a 55-year-old woman with a huge uterine myoma and symptoms of weakness of the right leg and gait disturbance. She was diagnosed with lumbosacral plexopathy that resolved after a laparoscopic-assisted total hysterectomy.

ZusammenfassungDas periphere Nervensystem ist im Laufe des Alternsprozesses Veränderungen unterworfen. So kommt es unter anderem zu einer Abschwächung von Muskeleigenreflexen und Propriozeption. Davon abzugrenzen sind Polyneuropathien als krankhafte Veränderungen des peripheren Nervensystems. Die jährliche Inzidenz von Polyneuropathien wird auf 118/100.000 geschätzt, die Prävalenz liegt bei etwa 1 %, für ältere Populationen werden 7 % angegeben. Die Ursachen sind vielfältig und ähnlich den Ursachen von Neuropathien des jüngeren Alters: Neben metabolischen, immunvermittelten, hereditären, toxischen und infektiösen Ätiologien können Polyneuropathien Ausdruck von Systemerkrankungen sein. Entsprechend der Altersverteilung der verschiedenen Ursachen sind Neuropathien im Zusammenhang mit Diabetes, monoklonalen Gammopathien und Malignomen im Alter häufiger. Allerdings nimmt der Anteil der kryptogenen Neuropathien, also ohne eindeutige Ursache, mit dem Alter zu. Bei alten Menschen führen Polyneuropathien zu einer zusätzlichen Beeinträchtigung der Mobilität und einem erhöhten Sturzrisiko, was auch die Abklärung funktioneller Fähigkeiten erforderlich macht.

“…Vasculitic neuropathies commonly occur as a part of systemic vasculitides, but isolated peripheral nerve vasculitides may be seen in diabetic or non-diabetic radiculoplexus neuropathy [24]. Serologic testing for systemic inflammatory responses or systemic vasculitides is generally negative in patients with isolated peripheral nerve vasculitides [25].…”

Autoimmune disorders are increasingly recognized causes of several neurological disorders leading to significant clinical disability. This article reviews recent developments in our understanding on the pathophysiology, clinical presentations, and diagnoses of selected immune-mediated neurological disorders. It also provides a brief summary of current theories on autoimmunity and the role that certain environmental factors play in the development of immune-mediated neurological disorders. Recently recognized biomarkers might play a pathogenetic role or simply serve as a diagnostic tool.
