    AbstractAnterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is characterized by abdominal wall neuralgia. We report an 85-year-old woman with ACNES caused by a fixation device during the bipolar hip arthroplasty. To prevent ACNES as a perioperative peripheral nerve injury, it is important to maintain patients in the appropriate position during the operation. A positive Carnett's sign means the abdominal pain originates from the abdominal wall and is useful in diagnosing ACNES. Thus, physicians should examine Carnett's sign to differentiate ACNES in patients with abdominal pain developing after an operation.Copyright © 2024 International Anesthesia Research Society.
