Abstract:
Meralgia paresthetica is a syndrome consisting of numbness, pain, tingling, burning and/or a variety of other paresthesias on the distribution of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) of the thigh. We report a case of meralgia paresthetica in a 41-year-old woman who complained of the symptoms of pain, burning sensation, and dysesthesia which occurred whilst standing up without any other constitutional symptoms. The authors suspect that frequent. and persistent squatting may play a role in the development of the present symptoms.
