- Abstract
- Objective: To determine the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) ultrasonographic dimensions, nerve
pathway, and regional anatomy.
Method: Thirty healthy, asymptomatic adult women participated in this study. Using ultrasonography
(US), we measured the cross-sectional circumference, area, diameter of the LFCN and the distance from
the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to LFCN. Height and weight of the subjects were obtained and
body mass index (BMI) was determined. Correlation between the measured parameters and age and body
mass index (BMI) was observed
Result: The mean circumference, area, longitudinal and transverse diameters were 8.5±0.4 mm, 4.5±
1.0 mm2, 3.5±0.3 mm, and 1.5±0.2 mm, respectively. The mean distance between the ASIS and LFCN
was 3.4±0.8 mm. There was no correlation between the US parameters and BMI or age.
Conclusion: High-resolution US examination may be a useful tool in the evaluation of LFCN and diagnosis
of meralgia paresthetica.
