Resumen
ALLY, Raihaan M.; VELLEMAN, Mark D. y SULEMAN, Farhana E.. Meralgia paresthetica: Now showing on 3T magnetic resonance neurography. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.1, pp.1-3. ISSN 2078-6778. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v23i1.1745.
Meralgia paresthetica is a neuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Traditionally, the diagnosis is based on classical symptoms and signs. In cases where there is a diagnostic dilemma, the role of magnetic resonance imaging has been to exclude other causes for the patient's presentation, as the small extraspinal peripheral nerves were not well visualised at imaging. The development of 3-Tesla magnetic resonance neurography, however, has made pathology of these nerves more conspicuous.
