ABSTRACT

The variations in the formation and distribution of the ilioinguinal nerve are the cause of the failures of the ilioinguinal block and the difficulties at interpreting the ilioinguinal nerve syndrome. In order to identify its variations, we dissected 154 inguinal nerves of adult Sudanese subjects. Objectives: - To find out the prevalence and incidence of variation in the projection of ilioinguinal nerve. Material and methods: - The study was conducted in Khartoum state – Sudan on 77 formalin embalmed cadavers which were dissected bilaterally to expose ilioinguinal by transperitoneal approach, in Sudanese male cadavers, age ranging from 24-56yaers. Results: - Out of total 154 dissected ilioinguinal nerves, a double nerve was observed in 13/154 (8.44%) cadavers. This variety was seen in 8/77 (10.4%) on the left side, and in 5/77 (6.5%) on the right side.
