A doctor has provided 1 answer

Am confused as to why you raise concerns regarding a relatively uncommon syndrome. Nothing in your description suggests a problem within the lumbosacral cistern. Suspect the numbness is a local compressive phenomenon associated with your pregnancy. Suggest discussing your concerns with your obstetrician for reassurance. Hope all goes well with remainder of your pregnancy.
