Genito-femoral neuralgia.
A 46-year-old male with bilateral genito-femoral neuralgia is presented. The patient complained of groin and testicular pain, the onset following asynchronous bilateral inguinal herniorrhaphy. Relief was effected by genito-femoral nerve resections. The operative approach is discussed. The differentiation between this syndrome and ilio-inguinal nerve entrapment is tabulated.
