Femoral neuropathy is an uncommon complication following pelvic surgery. We report on 2 cases of femoral nerve injury after pelvic surgery: 1 patient received radical cystectomy due to invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder, and the other patient had a transurethral resection of the bladder and received exploration and biopsy of a tumor mass over the right sacroiliac joint ...

Femoral neuropathy can result from diverse etiologies following abdominal surgery. We describe four cases of postoperative femoral neuropathy after proctological procedures that were carried out at our hospital. The related symptoms developed occultly but eventually impaired patient motor or sensory functions in the lower extremities. When the patient fails to address associated suffering, it i...

The syndrome of aortoiliac occlusive disease, also known as Leriche syndrome, is characterized by claudication, pain, and diminished femoral pulse. We highlight an unusual case of right sciatic neuropathy caused by Leriche syndrome, which was initially misdiagnosed. A 52-year-old male, with a past medical history of hypertension and bony fusion of the thoracolumbar spine, visited our hospital c...

The most common coagulation disorder associated with warfarin use is bleeding, but compressive femoral neuropathy is an unusual presentation. A 63-year-old man with compressive femoral neuropathy from an iliacus haematoma is reported. The diagnosis was confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging and treated conservatively with good clinical response and radiological evidence of resolution.

intracranial hemorrhage and entrapment neuropathy are the most serious and disabling complications in hemophilia.the occurance of these neurological complications was studied in 214 hemophiliac patients during a 3 month period. nine patients (4.2%) suffered intracranial hemorrhage (one epidural and others intracerebral). all of intracranial hemorrhage patients had the sevee form of disease (<1%...

Dear Editor, Postoperative femoral neuropathy is an uncommon complication associated with pelvic/abdominal surgery. The main mechanism underlying this neuropathy is stretching and/or prolonged compression of the nerve.1,2 The nerve compression can be caused by the self-retaining retractors that are sometimes used during surgery directly constricting the nerve against the pelvic sidewall and ind...

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 ...
