Femoral nerve damage Femoral nerve damage. The femoral nerve is located in the leg and supplies the muscles that assist help straighten the leg. It supplies sensation to the front of the thigh and part of the lower leg. One risk of damage to the femoral nerve is pelvic fracture. Symptoms of femoral nerve damage include impaired movement and/or sensation in the leg, and weakness. If the cause of the femoral nerve dysfunction can be identified and successfully treated, there is a possibility of full recovery.

Diaphragm and Phrenic Nerve Diaphragm and Phrenic Nerve. ++. The diaphragm is a large dome shaped muscle that separates the chest and abdominal cavities. The lower edge of the diaphragm is attached to the inner surface of ribs 6 through 12, the xiphoid process of the sternum and the upper 2 or 3 lumbar vertebrae (L1, L2, L3) .he phrenic nerves arise from the 3rd through 5th spinal nerves. Spinal cord injury above the level of the third vertebrae can cause disruption of nerve impulses that travel from the brain to the phrenic nerves. This can cause paralysis of the diaphragm and the need for the injured person to be on a respirator.

- Causes. The nerve damage that causes paralysis may be in the brain or spinal cord (the central nervous system) or it may be in the nerves outside the spinal cord (the peripheral nervous system). The most common causes of damage to the brain are: 1  stroke.amage to the spinal cord is most often caused by trauma, such as a fall or a car crash. Other conditions that may damage nerves within or immediately adjacent to the spine include: 1  tumor. ( 2 also called a ruptured or). 3  spondylosis (a disease that causes stiffness in the joints of the spine).

- Causes of meralgia paresthetica. Meralgia paresthetica is caused by nerve entrapment. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve running through your pelvis, groin and into the thighs becomes compressed. This can be caused by swelling, trauma, or pressure narrowing these openings and squeezing the nerve. Common causes of meralgia paresthetica may include: Repetitive motion of the legs.

Herpesvirus infections of the nervous system In many herpes zoster patients over the age of 60 years, pain—so-called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN)—continues for months or years. Although the cause of PHN is uncertain, analyses of blood, CSF and postmortem ganglia indicate that it is related to persistent or low-grade productive infection in ganglia.

- Characteristic of nerve inflammation is the loss of tactile sense, muscle force and reflexes. Nerve inflammation occurs because of damage to the nerve cell or one of its proliferations (axons). The nerve cell can be damaged by for example Polio, the herpes viruses, lack of oxygen, or antibodies circulating in the blood and in some forms of cancers such as lung cancer. The axon can be damaged by a mechanical trauma for example cuts and a host of diseases can damage especially the farthest ...

Femoral Neuropathy Damage to the femoral nerve can be the result of: 1  a direct injury. 2  a tumor or other growth blocking or trapping part of your nerve. 3  prolonged pressure on the nerve. 4  a pelvic fracture.5  radiation to the pelvis. 6  hemorrhage or bleeding into the space behind the abdomen, which is called the retroperitoneal space.njury to the artery or bleeding from the artery can cause compression on the nerve. Additionally, because the femoral nerve provides sensation to a major portion of the leg, injuries can occur due to this loss of sensation. Having weak leg muscles can also make you more prone to falling.

- The femoral nerve can have several entrapment locations or causes of injury, including intrapelvic injury and injury in the inguinal region. Diabetic amyotrophy is the most common cause of femoral nerve neuropathy.nother important branch of the femoral nerve is the medial femoral cutaneous nerve, which originates just distal to the inguinal ligament, descends on the sartorius muscle, and penetrates the deep fascia about the distal third of the thigh, at which point it splits into 2 terminal nerve branches.
