title: Pediatric meralgia paresthetica.
abstract: Meralgia paresthetica is a focal peripheral neuropathy involving the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and is rarely observed in pediatric practice. Previous reports have highlighted its occurrence within the context of a regional bony malignancy. We present here three patients less than 18 years of age with idiopathic meralgia paresthetica.
