The ilioinguinal nerve is a mixed nerve originating from the anterior rami of T12 and L1 nerve roots. It emerges near the lateral border of the psoas major muscle and goes inferior through the anterior abdominal wall, being sub-peritoneal and anterior to the quadratus lumborum muscle until it reaches the iliac crest.

The most common causes of compression of the ilioinguinal nerve are from trauma, especially blunt trauma to the nerve, as well as damage to the nerve during pelvic surgery. Ilioinguinal neuralgia will very rarely occur by itself.
The treatment of nerve entrapments remains controversial. The medical treatment includes repeated blocks with local anesthetic drugs alone or together with steroids (13), transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS), acupuncture, tricyclic antidepressants and anticonvulsive drugs (10).
Symptoms of ilioinguinal nerve injury include: Burning or stabbing pain, numbness, or tingling in the lower abdomen and groin. Difficulty extending the back as this movement causes more pain. Difficulty with sitting, standing and walking.
There is a specific CPT code, 64425 Injection, anesthetic agent; ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric nerves that would be used in this situation.
Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is one of the most frequent causes of abdominal pain in adults and children. The condition occurs when nerves within the abdominal wall — the anterior cutaneous abdominal nerves — become pinched or entrapped within the abdominal wall muscle.
Radiculopathy, site unspecified M54. 10 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M54. 10 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Neuropathic pain is now defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) as 'pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system'.
Neuropathic pain is caused by damage or injury to the nerves that transfer information between the brain and spinal cord from the skin, muscles and other parts of the body. The pain is usually described as a burning sensation and affected areas are often sensitive to the touch.
Upper limb mononeuropathy refers to pathology affecting a single peripheral nerve of the upper limb. The peripheral nerve may be damaged anywhere along its course from the spinal nerve root, as part of the brachial plexus, or along its terminal branches.
There are many causes of neuropathy. Diabetes is the number one cause in the United States. Other common causes include trauma, chemotherapy, alcoholism and autoimmune diseases.
