The more common source of lumbar plexopathy is a direct or secondary [2] tumor involvement of the plexus with MRI being the typical confirmation tool. [15] Tumors typically present with enhancement of nerve roots and T2-weighted hyperintensity. [2] The differential consideration of RILP requires taking a medical history and neurologic ...
Management of brachial or lumbosacral plexopathy depends on the underlying cause. No matter the cause of plexopathy, physical therapy and/or occupational therapy may promote recovery of strength and improve limb function. In the case of a mass lesion causing compression of the brachial or lumbosacral plexus, surgical decompression may be warranted.
The most significant impact of magnetic resonance neurography is on the evaluation of the large proximal nerve elements such as the brachial plexus (the nerves between the cervical spine and the underarm that innervate shoulder, arm and hand), [9] the lumbosacral plexus (nerves between the lumbosacral spine and legs), the sciatic nerve in the pelvis, [10] as well as other nerves such as the ...

The anterior divisions of the lumbar nerves, sacral nerves, and coccygeal nerve form the lumbosacral plexus, the first lumbar nerve being frequently joined by a branch from the twelfth thoracic. For descriptive purposes this plexus is usually divided into three parts: lumbar plexus; sacral plexus; pudendal plexus
It is part of the lumbosacral plexus and emerges from the lumbar vertebrae and sacral vertebrae (L4-S4). [1] A sacral plexopathy is a disorder affecting the nerves of the sacral plexus, usually caused by trauma, nerve compression, vascular disease, or infection. Symptoms may include pain, loss of motor control, and sensory deficits.
In particular, endoscopic surgery gave much better access to the pudendal nerve as well as the sciatic nerve, and allowed the possibility of decompressing the sacral plexus. [ 18 ] [ 16 ] [ 30 ] The use of image-guided diagnostic nerve blocks provided better capabilities to identify the entrapped nerve as well as the site of entrapment, leading ...
