摘要：

Introduction: Compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN), known as meralgia paresthetica (MP), is common. We investigated the topographic anatomy of the LFCN focusing on the inguinal ligament and adjacent structures. Methods: Distances from various bony and soft-tissue landmarks to the LFCN were investigated in 33 formalin-embalmed cadavers. Results: The mean distance from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the LFCN was 8.8mm. In approximately 90% of cases, the LFCN lay <2cm from the medial tip of the ASIS, whereas, in 76% of cases, it was <1cm away. The mean angle between the inguinal ligament and LFCN was 83.3 degrees. Conclusions: We determined the variability of the location of the LFCN at the boundary between the pelvic and femoral portions. The reported results will be helpful for diagnosis and treatment of MP.
