Abstract
|
|
|
|
Radiation-induced lumbosacral plexopathy (RILSP) is an uncommon complication of pelvic radiotherapy that can result in different degrees of sensory and motor deficits. An age 59 female with cervical cancer, who had received combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy two years before, presented with bilaterally symmetric lower-extremity weakness and tingling sensation. The magnetic resonance imaging showed diffuse T2 bright signal intensity and mild enhancement along the bilateral lumbosacral plexus with no space-occupying masses. RILSP was diagnosed after the exclusion of malignant and inflammatory plexopathies.
