We report two cases of @entity19140 paresthetica. The first @entity1 was 35-year-old pregnant @entity1 who reported dull @entity158 on the front and side of her thigh presenting at 6 weeks gestation. The symptoms disappeared in 1 week with conservative treatment and no other symptoms developed. The second @entity1 was a 56-year-old @entity1 , @entity28 , who reported intense, burning @entity158 with @entity1183 and occasional bouts of piercing @entity158 . The symptoms were resistant to treatment with non-steroidal antiinflamatory drugs or mild opiates, but were relieved by injection of local anesthetics and @entity288 . @entity19140 paresthetica is @entity4216 that affects the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. It can occur during pregnancy or in other contexts. The most common cause is entrapment of the nerve at the anterior superior iliac spine or during its passage through the inguinal ligament. The most common symptom is @entity1183 at the front of the thigh, although burning, formication, tingling, or other forms of paresthesia may also be present. The condition is usually self-limiting, although uncomfortable. Diagnosis is based on careful neurological examination. Conservative treatment is preferred and is based on limiting periods of standing and avoidance of tight clothing. Oral analgesics can be prescribed if necessary and weight loss is required for @entity28 @entity1 . Surgical ablation of the nerve is a last resort.
