Abstract
Introduction: Pudendal nerve entrapment syndrome is a poorly known condition and thus rarely included in our differential diagnoses. First described by Amarenco in 1987.
Development: The symptomatology is varied and can be confused with other entities, in particular the pelvic floor myofascial syndrome.
Conclusions: The main symptom is neuropathic pain in the perineal area. The diagnosis is based on the clinical history, physical examination and the confirming neurophysiologic tests.
