MeSH Heading: Femoral Neuropathy
Tree Number(s): C10.668.829.500.200
Unique ID: D020428
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020428
Scope Note: Disease involving the femoral nerve. The femoral nerve may be injured by ISCHEMIA (e.g., in association with DIABETIC NEUROPATHIES), nerve compression, trauma, COLLAGEN DISEASES, and other disease processes. Clinical features include MUSCLE WEAKNESS or PARALYSIS of hip flexion and knee extension, ATROPHY of the QUADRICEPS MUSCLE, reduced or absent patellar reflex, and impaired sensation over the anterior and medial thigh.
Entry Term(s): Bernhardt-Roth Syndrome; Femoral Mononeuropathy; Femoral Nerve Diseases; Femoral Nerve Dysfunction; Femoral Neuritis; Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment; Meralgia Paresthetica; Mononeuropathy, Femoral; Neuropathy, Femoral
Previous Indexing: Femoral Nerve (1966-1999); Neuritis (1966-1999); Peripheral Nervous System Diseases (1966-1999)
