title: Femoral neuropathy due to common iliac artery occlusion.
abstract: A patient with an atherosclerotic common iliac artery occlusion had acute onset of femoral neuropathy, which resolved after revascularization. This case indicates that ischemia can cause femoral neuropathy and that ischemia may be the explanation for some previously unexplained postoperative femoral neuropathies.
