Post-renal Transplantation Triple Neuralgia: A Case Report

Renal transplantation is the most common solid organ transplant in the United States. Post-transplant neuralgia is a frequent complication and may be due to infection, medication side effects, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD), or the procedure itself. This case report describes an instance of post-renal transplant neuralgia in a 70-year-old Caucasian female. Diagnostic nerve blocks revealed the involvement of the ilioinguinal, genitofemoral, and lateral femoral cutaneous nerves. The case report details management that included nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and a permanent peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) implant.
