Femoral nerve
Femoral sheath
Femoral sheath is a funnel shaped fascial prolongation around
proximal part of femoral vessels, situated in the femoral triangle,
below the inguinal ligament. It is 3-4 cm long. It is formed by fascia
iliaca.
Femoral sheath is divided into 3 separate fascial compartements by
septa :?
• Lateral compartment :- It contains femoral artery and femoral
branch of genitofemoral nerve.
.| Intermediate compartment :- Femoral vein.
• Medial compartment (femoral canal) :- It is conical in shape, wider
above adn narrow below. The wider upper opening is known
as femoral ring, which is potentially a weak point in lower abdomen
and is the site for femoral hernia. Femoral ring is bounded
Anteriorly by inguinal ligament, medially by lacunar
ligament, posteriorly by pectineus with its covering fascia,
and laterally by septum separating it from femoral vein. Femoral
canal contains lymph node of cloquet or Rosenmuller and
lymphatics
