A Case of Femoral Compressive Neuropathy in AL Amyloidosis

A Case of Femoral Compressive Neuropathy in AL Amyloidosis

We describe a case of a 54-yr-old AL amyloidosis patient who developed femoral compressive neuropathy due to iliopsoas pseudohypertrophy. The patient, who presented with end stage renal disease, was referred to our clinic because of lower extremity weakness and polyarthritis.

A 63-year-old man with compressive femoral neuropathy from an iliacus haematoma is reported. The diagnosis was confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging and treated conservatively with good clinical response and radiological evidence of resolution.

Compressive Femoral Neuropathy Associated with Iliopsoas Hematoma Complicating Hip Hemiarthroplasty: A Case Report

In this case, iliacus hematoma resulted from spontaneous bleeding favored by anticoagulant therapy. Case Report A 78-year-old female developed left groin pain associated with typical symptoms of femoral nerve...
