1 Susceptibility of the genitofemoral and lateral femoral cutaneous nerves to complications from lumbar sympathetic blocks: is there a morphological reason?†  G.C. Feigl, M. Dreu, H. Ulz, C. Breschan, C. Maier, R. Likar  British Journal of Anaesthesia  Volume 112, Issue 6, Pages (June 2014) DOI: /bja/aet552 Copyright © 2014 The Author(s) Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Anatomy of the GFN and LFCN from the existing literature compared with the current investigation. In addition, the topography of the LST according to existing literature is shown. British Journal of Anaesthesia  , DOI: ( /bja/aet552) Copyright © 2014 The Author(s) Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 (a and b) The most frequently documented course of the GFN, with the GFN passing the medial margin of the PM to reach the intervertebral foramen L2/3. The asterisk marks the GFN course according to the literature. The LFCN passes the PM between the deep and the partially removed (b) superficial portion. Note the short distance between the GFN and the LST. British Journal of Anaesthesia  , DOI: ( /bja/aet552) Copyright © 2014 The Author(s) Terms and Conditions

4 Fig 3 The GFN approaches the medial margin of the PM at L4/5 and runs parallel to the LST to the level of the vertebral body L3 and passes medially to the PM in the dorsal direction. The asterisk marks the GFN course according to the consulted literature. IVC, inferior vena cava; LST, lumbar sympathetic trunk.

5 Fig 4 The GFN approaches the LST at L3/4, runs along the LST to L2/3, and passes the PM medially at a L2. The LFCN runs along and enters the ventral face of the PM (similar to the topography of the GFN according to literature). IVC, inferior vena cava.
