髂腰肌血腫造成股神經壓迫性病變：病例報告

Abstract

Femoral neuropathy is uncommon compared with other mononeuropathies. We report a case of femoral neuropathy in a 53-year-old man who has cardiovascular disease and took Coumadin for 8 years. He has left lower extremity pain and weakness because of femoral nerve and lumbar plexus compression caused by an iliopsoas hematoma, which resulted from a period of prolonged bleeding. The patient’s condition improved after surgery and rehabilitation. We also reviewarticle the anatomy and pathophysiology of the femoral nerve, the clinical presentation of femoral neuropathy, the diagnostic tools used, the treatment method, and the prognosis.
