| Popis: | Five out of 12 lateral femoral cutaneous nerves, removed at routine autopsies, showed pathologic changes in myelinated nerve fibers in the vicinity of the inguinal ligament. These changes included both local demyelination and Wallerian degeneration, particularly affecting the fibers with the largest diameters. The presence of polarized internodal swellings on single nerve fibers from two specimens suggested that mechanical factors were involved in pathogenesis. Endoneurial vascular thickening confined to the region of the inguinal ligament was also seen and may be implicated in the production of some of the symptoms of meralgia paresthetica (MP). |
