Fig. 3

A19-year-old male with right hip flexion weakness for 2-month duration following motor car accident with electrophysiological evidence of subacute severe partial axonal lesion of right femoral nerve proximal to innervation of right rectus femoris muscle. MR neurography showed right femoral nerve injury: Axial T1 and T2 SPAIR images through the pelvis (A–C) show thickening and hyperintensity of right femoral nerve as it passes between the right psoas muscle and iliacus muscle without discontinuity and with no neuroma formation (short arrow in A) with hyperintense signal of right iliacus muscle seen in T1 and T2 SPAIR images denoting muscle hematoma (arrows in B and C). Note the left femoral nerve normal size and signal intensity (long arrow in A). Axial T1 (D) and T2 SPAIR (E) images of the proximal thigh demonstrate moderate loss of the right extensor muscle bulk denoting muscle denervation changes (arrows in D and E)
