Özet
Femoral neuropathy has been reported with different conditions including hip replacement, obstetric and gynecological procedures, and abdominal and urological explorative laparatomies. Isolated lesions of the femoral nerve is rare; most cases of femoral neuropathy result from positioning or compression during abdominal or pelvic surgery. Femoral neuropathy can be seen as a consequence of hematoma formation from misguided femoral catheterizations. We report a 65 year old case with severe femoral neuropathy following diagnostic angiography caused by the sandbag placed on the groin for homeostasis. This condition should be kept on mind when a patient presents with difficulty in walking with a recent history of diagnostic catheterization.
