Femoral Nerve Lesion
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Femoral nerve lesions are uncommon. One study of 27,004 primary hip arthroplasties found only two patients with complete and one with partial femoral nerve palsy. [1] A review of cases treated surgically at a neurosurgical department found 119 patients over a period of 33 years. 52 cases were iatrogenic, 19 were due to hip or pelvic fractures, 10 to gunshot wounds and 8 to lacerations. The remainder were the result of various tumours or cysts. [2]

Mononeuropathy of a distal branch of the femoral nerve in a body building champion.
A unique case of a body building champion with localised atrophy of the distal portion of the vastus lateralis muscle is reported; neurophysiological evaluation suggests a selective lesion of a distal branch of the vastus lateralis nerve (a motor branch of the femoral nerve). A necroscopic study in four cases was performed to better clarify the site and mechanism of nerve lesion. The data sugge...

متن کاملAn Unusual Case of Bilateral Meralgia Paresthetica Following Femoral Cannulations
Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is a sensory mononeuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN). MP has rarely been reported after a femoral intervention approach. We report a case of bilateral meralgia paresthetica following bilateral femoral cannulation. A 64-year-old male received cardiac catheterization and treatment via a bilateral femoral vein. After cardiac catheterization, the pati...
متن کاملFemoral nerve compression secondary to a ganglion cyst arising from a hip joint: a case report and review of the literature
INTRODUCTION Femoral nerve compression due to a cystic lesion around the hip joint is rare and only a few cases have been described in the literature. Among these, true ganglion cysts are even more rare. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 57-year-old woman with femoral nerve compression caused by a true ganglion cyst of the hip joint. CONCLUSION A high index of suspicion is required ...
متن کاملVariable origin and ramification pattern of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve: a case report and neurosurgical considerations.
Variations in the anatomy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) have been reported in the literature. LFCN is vulnerable to injury during several surgical operations, therefore any surgeon intervening in the area should be familiar to its topographic variability. Lesion of the nerve leads to a condition known as "meralgia paresthetica". We present a cadaveric case of a variant LFCN wher...
