Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome : ウィキペディア英語版 | Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome
Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is a condition that causes chronic pain of the abdominal wall. It occurs when terminal branches of the lower thoracic intercostal nerves (7-12) are ‘entrapped’ in abdominal muscles, causing a severe localized neuropathic pain that is usually experienced at ventral portions of the abdomen. It is frequently overlooked and unrecognized, although the incidence is estimated to be 1:2000 patients. The relative unfamiliarity with this condition often leads to significant diagnosis delays/misdiagnosis, often resulting in unnecessary diagnostic interventions and futile procedures. Physicians tend to diagnose these patients with alleged "irritable bowel syndrome", or "functional disorders," as symptoms of the condition are not dispositive. == Epidemiology ==
This syndrome is predominantly found in young women, but also occurs in children, teenagers and octogenarians.
