Abstract
Pudendal neuropathia is a rare disease caused by entrapment or compression of the pudendal nerve in various anatomical structures. Pudendal neuropathia impacts the quality of patients’ life signifi cantly, and restricts the activities of daily living dramatically. The diagnosis of pudendal neuropathia is often made lately or wrongly because clinical manifestations can mimic other pathologies. Currently, there is a paucity of medical literature and scientifi c data on the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. This article presents a case of pudendal neuropathia in a man with pelvic pain complaints over a period of 6 months.
