ABSTRACT
A few cases of femoral neuropathy that were developed after renal transplantation have been reported in western literature. The possible causes of this neuropahty that discussed in recent studies are compression of nerve by self-retaining retractor during operation, ischemia of femoral nerve by iliac muscle hematoma etc. We experienced one case of femoral nerve neuropathy after right iliac fossa renal transplantation that developed at first postoperative day without definitive etiology in all study. It was improved symptomatically after 2 weeks of postoperative day, so we reported this case with brief review of the literatures.
