This case report describes the occurrence of femoral neuropathy secondary to a hematoma of the iliacus muscle. This unusual complication was a result of heparin therapy following Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA). We have reviewed the anatomic correlates, mechanism, and treatment options of this condition.
