On examination he had tenderness in his left inguinal area. Neurological examination revealed a weakess of the quadriceps on the left, and diminished sensation on the anteromedial aspect of his left lower extremity. The mechanism of injury was not clear in this case. Case 2, a 56-year-old male had progressive muscle weakness and numbness in the right lower extremity.
