| Summary: | <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Endovascular therapy for vascular malformations is one of the treatment options for limb vascular malformations.</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>A patient with a vascular malformation of the hip developed ipsilateral leg weakness immediately after endovascular embolization and sclerotherapy. Clinical and electrodiagnostic findings later confirmed an incomplete sciatic neuropathy.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>We propose that endovascular treatment compromised the patient's sciatic nerve either through direct neurotoxicity of the sclerosing agent or ischemic injury.</p> |
