Abstract：
:Postpartum lower limb motor and/or sensory deficit is an uncommon obstetrical complication. We aimed to identify its incidence, etiology, and precipitating factors, as well as the neurological prognosis by retrospectively analyzing the successive neurological evaluations, electrophysiological, and MRI data from all the consecutive patients with postpartum motor and/or sensory deficits of the lower limbs referred from the Lariboisière Obstetrical Department to the Lariboisière Neurophysiology Department, from January 2012 to June 2016, as well as data concerning labor and morphological characteristics of mother and baby. Thirteen patients (0.11% of the parturient women in the Lariboisière hospital) were included. Eight (62%) had lumbosacral plexopathy. Symptoms followed a first vaginal delivery in 10/13 patients (77%), in patients who were mostly overweight (mean patient BMI before pregnancy 25.6 ± 3.2 kg/m2). Labor duration was slightly longer than average (mean labor duration 8.9 ± 2.9 h). No other potentially precipitating factor was identified. Recovery was good in all patients, 7/11 (64%) made a rapid full recovery (mean recovery time 5 ± 2.5 weeks excluding one patient who had a normal neurological examination at 2 weeks but still complained of foot weakness that fully recovered in 1 year), and a minority (4/11, 36%) still complained of minor symptoms at time of follow-up, but showed marked improvement. New mothers presenting postpartum lower limb nerve injury should, therefore, be reassured.
