This case report describes a patient presenting with cyclical right-sided leg pain that was ultimately diagnosed as lumbosacral plexopathy caused by sciatic endometriosis. The authors highlight that while endometrial tissue typically involves the pelvis, ovaries, or bowel, it can rarely infiltrate neurovascular bundles in the legs. This unusual manifestation demonstrates how ectopic endometrial implants can affect distant nerves and cause catamenial symptoms outside the pelvic region. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically an atypical presentation involving sciatic nerve infiltration leading to lumbosacral plexopathy.

Lumbosacral plexopathy – An unusual presentation of sciatic endometriosis DOI: https://doi.org/10.32677/IJCR.2020.v06.i05.020Keywords: Cyclical pain, Endometriosis, Lumbosacral plexus, Sciatic nerveAbstract Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder that presents with chronic pelvic pain or infertility. It is the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. It is typically present in the pelvis, such as on the ovaries and pelvic peritoneum. It may also involve the bowel, ureter or bladder, and the neurovascular bundle in the leg. We, hereby, report that the case of a lady who presented to us with catamenial leg pain on her right side was diagnosed to have lumbosacral plexopathy with underlying etiology as endometriosis on evaluation, an unusual presentation of a disease.
