There are many variations in the course of the<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">LFCN<\/jats:styled-content>. A 55\u2010year\u2010old woman presented with pain and tingling sensations on the anterolateral aspect of her left thigh. Physical examination revealed hypoesthesia of the proximal anterolateral thigh on the left side. During the electrodiagnostic study, sensory nerve action potential of the<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">LFCN<\/jats:styled-content>could not be obtained on both sides. Through those clinical and electrophysiological findings, we prediagnosed the case as<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MP<\/jats:styled-content>and planned to perform diagnostic nerve block. For the injection to perform, ultrasonography was used. During the ultrasonographic evaluation, the left<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">LFCN<\/jats:styled-content>was visualized lateral to the anterior superior iliac spine (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ASIS<\/jats:styled-content>). Then ultrasound\u2010guided nerve block with 2 cc lidocaine 2% for diagnostic purpose was performed in this region. Immediately after the injection, the patient's complaints relieved completely, and hence the patient was diagnosed as having<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MP<\/jats:styled-content>with an<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">LFCN<\/jats:styled-content>anatomical variation. Two months later her complaints persisted, and ultrasound\u2010guided<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">LFCN<\/jats:styled-content>injection with 2<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">mL<\/jats:styled-content>of lidocaine 2% + 1 cc of betametazone was performed. One month after the second injection, her complaints were relieved markedly and she resumed her daily activities. In conclusion, the course of the<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">LFCN<\/jats:styled-content>is quite variable. We present a relatively rare anatomical variation of the<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">LFCN<\/jats:styled-content>, crossing lateral to the<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">ASIS<\/jats:styled-content>, diagnosed with ultrasonography. Ultrasonography can be performed to visualize the<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">LFCN<\/jats:styled-content>, especially a nerve with an anatomical variation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/papr.12559","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,23]],"date-time":"2017-01-23T11:22:44Z","timestamp":1485170564000},"page":"1105-1108","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Ultrasound\u2010Guided Diagnosis and Injection of the Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve with an Anatomical Variation"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Deniz","family":"Palamar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty Istanbul University Istanbul Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rana","family":"Terlemez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty Istanbul University Istanbul Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenan","family":"Akgun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Cerrahpasa Medical Faculty Istanbul University Istanbul Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-199709000-00008"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.20766"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.blo.0000164526.08610.97"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jcu.20521"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.20943"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.21043"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005131-199903000-00009"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005131-199901000-00005"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijom.2005.08.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-200005000-00016"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","first-page":"16","article-title":"Hiphuggers\u2019 tingly thighs","volume":"168","author":"Parmar MS","year":"2003","journal-title":"CMAJ"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_1","first-page":"1454","volume-title":"Gray's Anatomy","author":"Newell RLM","year":"2005"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12306-010-0054-y"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AAP.0b013e3182030897"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"414","DOI":"10.33588\/rn.26151.98962","article-title":"Lateral femoral cutaneous neuropathy: paresthetic meralgia.
