Neurological examination revealed atrophy of the proximal muscles of both shoulders, plus pseudo hypertrophy of both calves. Electromyography exhibited a myopathic pattern. Musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging demonstrated a fusiform nerve swelling below the inguinal ligament suggesting lateral femoral cutaneous nerve compression, consistent with meralgia paraesthetica. Treatment with a perineural injection of betamethasone dipropionate and betamethasone sodium phosphate combination, and prilocaine-HCl, under ultrasound guidance, was performed. Symptoms resolved within 6\u2009h. At 3-week follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic, and there was no paraesthesia or pain on examination. In this case, ultrasound-guided perineural injection of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve with local anaesthetics and steroid served both diagnostic and therapeutic functions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0036933017707162","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,8]],"date-time":"2017-05-08T01:06:25Z","timestamp":1494205585000},"page":"25-27","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A rare presentation of meralgia paraesthetica in limb girdle muscular dystrophy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"63","author":[{"given":"Ozgur","family":"Zeliha Karaahmet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Doctor (MD), Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Education and Research Hospital, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eda","family":"Gurcay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Doctor (MD), Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Education and Research Hospital, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Duygu","family":"Ozturk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Doctor (MD), Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Education and Research Hospital, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sukran","family":"Guzel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Doctor (MD), Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Education and Research Hospital, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aytul","family":"Cakci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Doctor (MD), Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Education and Research Hospital, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0036933017707162","first-page":"OD08","volume":"9","author":"Kanitkar SA","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Clin Diagn Res"},{"key":"bibr2-0036933017707162","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1049909109346165"},{"key":"bibr3-0036933017707162","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.2005.072363"},{"key":"bibr4-0036933017707162","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7863\/jum.2011.30.10.1341"},{"key":"bibr5-0036933017707162","first-page":"CD004159","volume":"12","author":"Khalil N","year":"2012","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst Rev"},{"key":"bibr6-0036933017707162","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AAP.0b013e3182030897"},{"key":"bibr7-0036933017707162","first-page":"883","volume":"8","author":"Cheatham SW","year":"2013","journal-title":"Int J Sports Phys Ther"},{"key":"bibr8-0036933017707162","volume-title":"Gait analysis: Normal and pathological function","author":"Perry J","year":"1992"},{"key":"bibr9-0036933017707162","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00330-015-3874-1"},{"key":"bibr10-0036933017707162","first-page":"E667","volume":"19","author":"Onat SS","year":"2016","journal-title":"Pain Phys"}],"container-title":["Scottish Medical Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0036933017707162","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0036933017707162","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0036933017707162","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T10:18:12Z","timestamp":1777630692000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0036933017707162"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,7]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0036933017707162"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0036933017707162","relation":{},"ISSN":["0036-9330","2045-6441"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0036-9330","type":"print"},{"value":"2045-6441","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,7]]}}}
