Ultrasound of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve in asymptomatic adults
BACKGROUND To define the sites where the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) is more easily visualized and to describe the anatomical variations of the LFCN. METHODS A total of 240 LFCNs in 120 volunteers were evaluated with 18 MHz ultrasound; the intermuscular space between the tensor fasciae latae muscle and the sartorius was used as an initial sonographic landmark. The time taken to ide...
متن کاملUltrasound imaging accurately identifies the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.
BACKGROUND Anesthesia of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) is useful in surgery involving the anterolateral thigh. We investigated the accuracy of ultrasound compared with anatomical landmarks in identifying the LFCN in human cadavers and volunteers. METHODS Twenty cadavers were examined. A needle was inserted targeting the LFCN with ultrasound guidance and green dye was injected. A ...
متن کاملUltrasound in Anatomical Variation of Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve.
We read with great interest the recently published brief commentary by Onat and colleagues entitled “Ultrasound-Guided Diagnosis and Treatment of Meralgia Paresthetica”(1). In this paper, the authors presented an ultrasound (US) assessment of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN), whose entrapment is known as meralgia paresthetica (MP). They correctly determined that diagnosis of MP is sub...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Block in Meralgia Paresthetica
Meralgia paresthetica is a rarely encountered sensory mononeuropathy characterized by paresthesia, pain or sensory impairment along the distribution of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) caused by entrapment or compression of the nerve as it crossed the anterior superior iliac spine and runs beneath the inguinal ligament. There is great variability regarding the area where the nerve pie...
متن کاملUltrasound-Guided Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Conduction Study
OBJECTIVE To verify the utility of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) ultrasound-guided conduction technique compared to that of the conventional nerve conduction technique. METHODS Fifty-eight legs of 29 healthy participants (18 males and 11 females; mean age, 42.7±14.9 years) were recruited. The conventional technique was performed bilaterally. The LFCN was localized by ultrasound. ...
