Meralgia paresthetica; Other names: Bernhardt-Roth syndrome [1]: Innervation of lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh (shaded area) on the right leg.: Specialty: Neurology: Symptoms: Pain, dysthesias, paresthesias, and hyperesthesia on the anterolateral thigh [2]
Paresthesia may be transient or chronic, and may have many possible underlying causes. [1] Paresthesias are usually painless and can occur anywhere on the body, but most commonly occur in the arms and legs. [1] The most familiar kind of paresthesia is the sensation known as "pins and needles" after having a limb "fall asleep".
Peripheral neuropathy may be classified according to the number and distribution of nerves affected (mononeuropathy, mononeuritis multiplex, or polyneuropathy), the type of nerve fiber predominantly affected (motor, sensory, autonomic), or the process affecting the nerves; e.g., inflammation (), compression (compression neuropathy), chemotherapy (chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy).
Dysfunction of the superior cluneal nerves lead to many different neuropathic symptoms such as burning pain, numbness, tingling, and dysesthesia around the low back and upper gluteal area. The most common symptoms are localized unilateral low back pain, though up to anywhere between 40 and 82% of patients may complain of leg symptoms – pain ...
Another branch observed, that is mentioned in passing in previous literature is the medial branch of the lateral sural cutaneous nerve. [3]In a 2021 study by Steele et al. (Annals of Anatomy), a medial branch of the lateral sural cutaneous nerve was observed in approximately 36% of lower extremities dissected (n=208) with an average diameter of 1.47 ± 0.655 mm with a 95% CI of 1.31 – 1.625 mm.

The common fibular nerve is the smaller terminal branch of the sciatic nerve. The common fibular nerve has root values of L4, L5, S1, and S2. It arises from the superior angle of the popliteal fossa and extends to the lateral angle of the popliteal fossa, along the medial border of the biceps femoris.
The dysesthetic tissue may also not be part of a limb, but part of the body, such as the abdomen. The majority of individuals with both phantom limb and dysesthesia experience painful sensations. [citation needed] Phantom pain refers to dysesthetic feelings in individuals who are paralyzed or who were born without limbs. It is caused by the ...
