"Meralgia paraesthetica, also known as Bernhardt–Roth syndrome, refers to a mononeuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve."
"It was first described by M Bernhardt in 1878, and in 1885, W Hager wrote up a case of a painful hip due to a traumatic injury of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve 8-10. Ten years later, in 1895, M Bernhardt and V Roth independently published their experiences with meralgia paraesthetica, the latter term being coined by Roth. Hence its alternative moniker is "Bernhardt–Roth syndrome" 10-12."
"Patients often describe burning, coldness, lightning pain, deep muscle achiness, tingling, frank anaesthesia, or local hair loss in the anterolateral thigh region."
