Abstract
Meralgia Paresthetica (MP) causes outer thigh discomfort, numbness, and tingling. Compression or injury to the Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve (LFCN), which gives sensory innervation to outer aspect of the thigh. It frequently gets impinged beneath the inguinal ligament resulting in in sensory impairment in the distribution of LFCN. Compression of the LFCN is a frequent cause of MP, whereas LFCN neuromas is a rare cause. This case report describes a unique case of Meralgia Paresthetica produced by a LFCN neuroma and enhances our knowledge of Meralgia Paresthetica.
