Zusammenfassung

Die Kompressionsneuropathie des N. cutaneus femoris lateralis in Höhe des Spina iliaca anterior superior gehört zu den relativ seltenen Kompressionssyndromen. Meist ist der Nerv zwischen beiden Blättern des Leistenbandes komprimiert. Bei diesem Kompressionssyndrom sind spontane Heilungen beobachtet worden. Auch durch mehrmalige Infiltrationen können die Schmerzen und Missempfindungen zurückgehen. Bei Therapieresistenz empfehlen wir die Dekompression des Nervs.
