title: [A rare complication of delivery: paralysis of the external popliteal sciatic nerve in the postpartum period].
abstract: Paralysis of the lateral popliteal sciatic nerve has been known for quite some time, although it is a rare complication. It is probably a compression of the lateral popliteal sciatic nerve within the pelvis when the division of the sciatic nerve is high. But there are many hypotheses.
