title: Idiopathic lumbosacral plexus neuropathy in two children.
abstract: Two children diagnosed as having idiopathic lumbosacral plexopathy are presented. Although an apparently rare condition, it is probably underdiagnosed since it is difficult to recognise. Before such a diagnosis, careful exclusion of compressive and infiltrative lesions of the spinal cord, cauda equina and lumbosacral plexus is of utmost importance.
