Meralgia paresthetica by compression from a modeling girdle

Meralgia paresthetica after strenuous exercise.

We present three patients with signs and symptoms of meralgia paresthetica (MP) after long-distance walking and cycling. No other possible causes of MP, such as trauma or exogenous compression, were present. A neuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve was confirmed in all patients with somatosensory evoked potentials. We propose that conduction block due to local ischemia during repetit...

Simvastatin-induced meralgia paresthetica.

3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) cause mainly muscular adverse effects. During the last 20 years there has been solid evidence of peripheral neuropathy caused by statins, with a risk of one in 10,000 patients treated for 1 year. Meralgia paresthetica is an entrapment neuropathy occasionally encountered by primary care physicians. To date there has been no rep...

Diagnosis and treatment of meralgia paresthetica.

Many patients present to emergency departments with lower back pain, for which there are several differential diagnoses. One of these is meralgia paresthetica, an obscure and benign condition first described in the late 19th century. Nurse practitioners should familiarise themselves with the symptoms of meralgia paresthetica so that they can make differential diagnoses and offer the relevant ma...

Meralgia Paresthetica—A Common Cause of Thigh Pain

Meralgia Paresthetica and Femoral Acetabular Impingement: A Possible Association

UNLABELLED Meralgia paresthetica consists of pain and dysesthesia in the anterolateral thigh. Etiology is divided into spontaneous and iatrogenic causes. To my knowledge this has never been attributed to femoral acetabular impingement. This case highlights the presence of lateral femoral cutaneous neuropathy in the setting of femoral acetabular impingement syndrome thus raising the possibility ...
