This article reviews the ultrasound findings in patients with meralgia paresthetica, discussing the anatomy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and potential entrapment sites. Various pathological cases are presented to aid in recognizing ultrasound patterns of meralgia paresthetica, and the experience with ultrasound-guided treatment is also discussed.
We review the ultrasound (US) findings in patients who present with meralgia paresthetica (MP). The anatomy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve at the level where the nerve exits the pelvis and potential entrapment sites that can lead to MP are discussed. A wide range of pathological cases are presented to help in recognizing the US patterns of MP. Finally, our experience with US-guided treatment is discussed.
