Sumario:Mechanical compression at any point along the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) may result in meralgia paresthetica (MP). A 54-year-old male patient presented with pain and tingling on the anterolateral side of thigh. After excluding other causes of pain radiating to legs, he was diagnosed with MP. Inguinal lymphadenopathy which caused the compression of LFCN was found on ultrasonographic examination. Tinea pedis infection was also identified during the detailed investigation for lymphadenopathy. Associated MP symptoms partially resolved immediately after ultrasound-guided LFCN block and a complete recovery was achieved after the treatment of tinea pedis.
