Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Meralgia paresthetica (MP) is a neuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LCFN) resulting in pain, dysesthesias and decreased sensation over the anterolateral thigh [1]. It was first reported by German pathologist, Martin Berhardt, in the late nineteenth century. Vladimir Karlovich Roth observed the same phenomenon in cavalry soldiers with tight belts and termed it meralgia paresthetica from the Greek words for thigh (meros) and pain (algos) [2–5].
