RESUMO
La meralgia parestésica es una mononeuropatía del nervio femorocutáneo con una presentación clínica característica, usualmente secundaria a lesión o atrapamiento en algún punto de su recorrido, siendo más habitual las producidas a nivel inguinal. Sin embargo, se publican casos excepcionales asociados a compresiones originadas por masas ocupantes de espacio a nivel retroperitoneal, por lo que se debería ampliar su estudio con pruebas de imagen ante dicho cuadro clínico. A continuación presentamos un caso asociado a un tumor renal(AU)
Meralgia paresthetica is a mononeuropathy of the femoral cutaneous nerve with characteristic findings, usually secondary to injury or compression, being most common in the inguinal area. Exceptional cases associated with compressions caused by abdominal or pelvic tumors have been published, so it is always advisable to extend the study with imaging tests. We present a case associated with a renal tumor(AU)
