Meralgia paresthetica is a specific instance of nerve entrapment. [5] The nerve involved is the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN).
Lateral femoral cutaneous neuralgia, often known as Meralgia Paresthetica, involves neuropathic pain on the outer thigh. The use of a nerve decompression or neurectomy to treat nerve pain along the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is a firmly established surgical treatment.
This causes meralgia paraesthetica (Bernhardt-Roth syndrome). [ 2 ] [ 5 ] This may be diagnosed with ultrasound, which changes the morphology of the nerve. [ 1 ] Changes can include general enlargement, [ 1 ] and a hypoechoic appearance. [ 3 ]
