Somatosensory evoked potentials from stimulation of cutaneous femoris lateralis nerve and their application in meralgia paresthetica.
A New technique for recording somatosensory evoked potentials after stimulation of the cutaneous femoris lateralis nerve is described. It has proven useful in two patients where the diagnosis of meralgia paresthetica was raised. The use of this relatively easy technique is suggested in the diagnosis of meralgia paresthetica.
