FEMORAL AND OBTURATOR NEUROPATHIES

Neurologic Clinics, 1999
Femoral, saphenous, and obturator neuropathies have diverse causes, many of which are iatrogenic. They have overlapping, but distinct, clinical features. Electrodiagnostic testing can distinguish between these disorders and others in the differential diagnosis. Imaging studies may demonstrate the origin of the neuropathy in some cases.

Haemorrhagic femoral neuropathy

Injury, 1982
Abstract A case of femoral nerve palsy secondary to a traumatic haematoma associated with the iliacus muscle is presented. Review of the literature suggests the existence of two types of lesion. The prognosis for recovery of the femoral nerve is different in the two groups and may be improved by appropriate treatment.

Femoral neuropathy: A clinical and electrodiagnostic review

Muscle & Nerve, 2023
AbstractIntroduction/AimsFemoral neuropathies can cause severe, prolonged debility, yet there have been few clinical and electrodiagnostic (EDx) studies addressing this condition. The aim of this study was to better understand the etiologies, EDx features, and clinical course of femoral neuropathy.MethodsWe identified patients evaluated at Mayo Clinic ...

Problems of etiology in femoral neuropathies

The Italian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 1985
29 cases of femoral mononeuropathy are reported. While the clinical features of the femoral neuropathy are easily identified, the etiology is often hard to establish. The cases reported tend to fall into three general categories: 1) cases without major diagnostic difficulties (e.g.

Femoral and obturator neuropathies

The femoral and obturator nerves both arise from the L2, L3, and L4 spinal nerve roots and descend into the pelvis before emerging in the lower limbs. The femoral nerve's primary function is knee extension and hip flexion, along with some sensory innervation to the leg.

Femoral neuropathy during anticoagulant therapy

Neurology, 1976
Ten cases of acute femoral neuropathy complicating anticoagulant therapy were followed over periods of 1 to 5 years. Most patients had either sensory or motor residual symptoms, but the two patients who had early surgical intervention made rapid recoveries.

Transient Femoral Neuropathy After Abdominoplasty

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2008
Femoral nerve injury is a rare complication of abdominal and pelvic surgery. Although it has been described after a variety of operative procedures, this article describes what may be the first reported occurrence of femoral neuropathy after abdominoplasty.

Femoral Neuropathy After Renal Transplantation

Southern Medical Journal, 1980
We report nine cases of neuropathy occurring after renal transplantation, seven of them femoral and two lateral femoral cutaneous. The average time of onset of symptoms is 2.2 days after surgery. Quadriceps weakness, hypoesthesia, and abnormal results of EMG and nerve conduction studies are common and occur on the same side as the operation.

Femoral neuropathy

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1998
The recurrence of colon or rectal cancer may be signaled by serial carcinoembryonic antigen assays, patient symptoms, or radiologic tests such as abdominal and pelvic computed tomographic scans. There are unusual clinical presentations of recurrent disease.Retrospectively, six patients with recurrent appendix, colon, or rectal cancer had a femoral ...

Femoral neuropathy in haemophilia

International Orthopaedics, 1977
Twenty-three cases of femoral neuropathy in twenty-seven haemophiliac patients with iliacus haematoma were studied in the last five years at the Hippokrateion Hospital, Athens. This paper describes the course of events and the factors affecting severity and recovery.
