|
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.
