| Popis: | Case A 51-year-old woman presented with a 2-month history of pain in the right thigh. Radiography and computed tomography of the pelvis showed cortical hyperostosis of the right ilium. She was diagnosed with meralgia paresthetica (MP) caused by melorheostosis involving the right ilium. After 6 weeks of conservative management, an operation was performed for the persisting pain. At the 1-year follow-up, no findings of recurrence were observed clinically and radiographically. Conclusion MP, caused by proximal irritation of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, can occur because of melorheostosis, which is a rare condition. |
