Transient Femoral Nerve Palsy Complicating “Blind” Transversus Abdominis Plane Block
We present two cases of patients who reported quadriceps femoris weakness and hypoesthesia over the anterior thigh after an inguinal hernia repair under transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block. Transient femoral nerve palsy is the result of local anesthetic incorrectly injected between transversus abdominis muscle and transversalis fascia and pooling around the femoral nerve. Although it is a m...
متن کاملMechanism of femoral nerve palsy complicating percutaneous ilioinguinal field block.
Femoral nerve palsy has been reported after percutaneous ilioinguinal field infiltration with general anaesthesia for inguinal herniorrhaphy. The mechanism whereby this could occur was studied in cadaver dissections. It was found that the plane between the transversus abdominis muscle and the transversalis fascia was continuous laterally with the tissue plane deep to the iliacus fascia, which i...
متن کاملDelayed appearance of hypaesthesia and paralysis after femoral nerve block
We report on a female patient who underwent an arthroscopy of the right knee and was given a continuous femoral nerve block catheter. The postoperative course was initially unremarkable, but when postoperative mobilisation was commenced, 18 hours after removal of the catheter, the patient noticed paralysis and hypaesthesia. Examination confirmed the diagnosis of femoral nerve dysfunction. Colou...
متن کاملDevelopment of Phantom Limb Pain after Femoral Nerve Block
Historically, phantom limb pain (PLP) develops in 50-80% of amputees and may arise within days following an amputation for reasons presently not well understood. Our case involves a 29-year-old male with previous surgical amputation who develops PLP after the performance of a femoral nerve block. Although there have been documented cases of reactivation of PLP in amputees after neuraxial techni...
متن کاملFemoral Nerve Palsy with Patella Fracture
Femoral neuropathy may be associated with various etiologies and can cause severe walking disability. We present the case of a 25-year-old woman who underwent surgical repair for a patella fracture and complained of lower extremity pain, paresthesia, and weakness postoperatively. Electromyography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed partial peripheral neuropathy of the left femoral ner...
