    Abstract

    We present a patient with meralgia paresthetica by a distended iliopsoas bursa and associated with concurrent osteonecrosis of the femoral head. This manifestation is unusual and extremely rare because classically LFCN dose not pass near the iliopsoas bursa. We presume a mechanism of nerve injury by variation of the course of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.
