Iliohypogastric nerve
Anatomy
The iliohypogastric nerve arises primarily from the ventral primary rami of L1 and occasionally with a twig from T12. This nerve has a pathway similar to that of the intercostal nerves in the thoracic region. The iliohypogastric nerve traverses the psoas major muscle, piercing the lateral border of the muscle anterior to the quadratus lumborum muscle and posterior to the kidney to traverse the lateral abdominal wall.
