  • Title: Anatomical variation of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve: a case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Dimitropoulos G, Schaepkens van Riempst J, Schertenleib P.
    Journal: J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg; 2011 Jul; 64(7):961-2. PubMed ID: 21208836.
    Abstract:
    We describe a rare anatomical variation of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) in a 29-year old female patient discovered during a surgical decompression of the LFCN for meralgia paresthetica. Anatomical variations of the LFCN must always be considered at the time of surgery to maximize success rate and avoid nerve damage during surgical dissection.
