    Trauma to the thigh can cause meralgia paresthetica, a condition affecting the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Surgical neurolysis effectively relieved symptoms in a patient with a severe skin reaction.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Surgical Case Study

    Background:

    • Meralgia paresthetica is a mononeuropathy resulting from compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.
    • Traumatic injuries can precipitate or exacerbate nerve compression syndromes.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with symptoms of meralgia paresthetica following trauma to the anterolateral thigh.
    • The trauma resulted in a severe, localized skin reaction at the site of injury.

    Findings:

    • Neurolysis of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve was performed to address the nerve compression.
    • The surgical intervention led to complete resolution of the patient's meralgia paresthetica symptoms.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights neurolysis as an effective treatment for traumatic meralgia paresthetica.
