Abstract
Meralgia Paresthetica (MP) is one of the most common mononeuropathies of the lower limb. MP usually resolves on its own, even without treatment. However, many physicians are not aware of this diagnosis and may confuse patients with another nerve disease such as radiculopathies. Although no motor symptoms are associated with this condition, the sensory dysfunctions are potentially debilitating to patients. The variable course of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve also complicates treatments. Thus, the author recommends the use of ultrasonography to help locate the nerve. Many treatments for MP are available, but they are supported only by moderate to low-quality evidence. Treatments range from conservative to interventions using nerve blocks and surgery. Without a clear superiority of any treatment, the author concludes that treatment should be done in a stepwise fashion, from the noninvasive to the more invasive treatment if symptoms persist.
