Introduction: Variation in origin and branching pattern of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of thigh are common. These anatomical variations important for anatomists, clinicians, and surgeons for prevention of post-operative complication. Material and method: 25 cadavers dissected in last 3 year. Result: In this study16% cadavers show lateral femoral cutaneous nerve receive the communicating branch from the femoral nerve bilaterally and in 4% cadaver lateral femoral cutaneous nerve derived from the root L2 bilaterally whilein 8% cadavers were found two lateral femoral cutaneous nerve bilaterally. Conclusion: in this study we found significant variation in Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve in origin and branching pattern which is important for anatomists for study purpose during dissection, for surgeon to prevent iatrogenic nerve Injury and for the clinicians while treating the cases of meralgia paresthetica.
