[Sciatic and gluteal nerve lesions during coma and anesthesia (author's transl)].
We observed 5 patients with sciatic nerve lesions after coma or general anesthesia; in 2 cases there were also the gluteal nerves involved. These lesions are probably caused by direct nerve pressure. In 4 cases axonotmesis with a delayed and incomplete recovery was seen.
