Meralgia paraesthetica

Abstract

Forty-four patients of meralgia paraesthetica presented with combination of symptoms mainly of numbness with loss of superficial sensation on the anterolateral aspect of a thigh were selected for the study. They responded well to local infiltration of hydrocortisone acetate and lignocaine hydrochloride which not only helped in diagnosis but also prevented the recurrence of symptoms in majority of cases.
