síndrome de Bernhardt-Roth
Scope note: Enfermedades que afectan al nervio femoral. Este nervio puede lesionarse por ISQUEMIA (por ejemplo, asociado con NEUROPATÍA DIABÉTICA), compresión del nervio, traumatismo, ENFERMEDADES DEL COLÁGENO, y otros procesos patológicos. Las características clínicas incluyen DEBILIDAD MUSCULAR o PARÁLISIS de la flexión del muslo y de la extensión de la rodilla, ATROFIA del músculo cuadríceps, reducción o ausencia del reflejo rotuliano, y trastornos de la sensibilidad en la parte anterior y media del muslo.

Scope note: Disease involving the femoral nerve. The femoral nerve may be injured by ISCHEMIA (e.g., in association with DIABETIC NEUROPATHIES), nerve compression, trauma, COLLAGEN DISEASES, and other disease processes. Clinical features include MUSCLE WEAKNESS or PARALYSIS of hip flexion and knee extension, ATROPHY of the QUADRICEPS MUSCLE, reduced or absent patellar reflex, and impaired sensation over the anterior and medial thigh.
