Several anatomical variations of the iliohypogastric nerve branches have been observed in earlier studies. Knowledge of these variations is useful for the improvement of peripheral nerve blocks and avoidance of iatrogenic nerve injuries during surgeries. The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review of the literature about the anatomical topography and variations of the iliohypogastric nerve. An extensive search on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science electronic databases was conducted by the first author in November 2021, based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Anatomical or cadaveric studies about the origin, the course, and the distribution of the iliohypogastric nerve were included in this review. Thirty cadaveric studies were included for qualitative analysis. Several anatomical variations of the iliohypogastric nerve were depicted including its general properties, its origin, its branching patterns, its course, its relation to anatomical landmarks, and its termination. Among them, the absence of the iliohypogastric nerve ranged from 0 to 34%, its origin from L1 ranged from 62.5 to 96.5%, and its isolated emergence from psoas major ranged from 47 to 94.5%. Numerous anatomical variations of the iliohypogastric nerve exist but are not commonly cited in classic anatomical textbooks. The branches of the iliohypogastric nerve may be damaged during spinal anesthesia and surgical procedures in the lower abdominal region. Therefore, a better understanding of the regional anatomy and its variations is of vital importance for the prevention of iliohypogastric nerve injuries.
