Our patient's case highlights that lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy, an already rare disorder, can occur in the absence of diabetes mellitus and pain, making it even harder to recognize. A systematic and meticulous clinical approach, supported by intelligent selection of adjunctive tests, is required for localization and diagnosis. With an accurate diagnosis, our case also demonstrates that appropriate and prompt treatment can lead to complete recovery, despite previous reports suggesting a high prevalence of long-term residual deficits after lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy.
