title: [Meralgia paraesthetica in a body-builder].
abstract: The article describes the case of meralgia paraesthetica, a disease not uncommon, of a bodybuilder. Extensive literature of meralgia paraesthetica shows us several reasons for the injury of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh, but the genesis of the nerve-injury by strain in training is unusual. Diagnostics and therapy of that disease do not present any difficulty.
