Abstract:
Tarsal tunnel syndrome consist of a complex of symptoms affecting the foot and is thought to be due to a compression neuropathy of the posterior tibial nerve within the fibro-osseous tunnel that lies beneath the flexor retinaculum on the medial side of the ankle. A case of tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by neurilemoma of the posterior tibial nerve was treated at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Seoul Red Cross Hospital. The patient had complained of pain and paresthesia on the plantar aspect of the left foot for one and half years before admission. Pain and paresthesia were almost completely improved after removal of the mass by intraneural lysis.
