Foot drop is usually derived from peroneal nerve injury. Traumatic causes of peroneal nerve injury are more common than insidious causes including metabolic syndromes and mass lesions. We present a case with common peroneal neuropathy due to schwannoma, which is extremely rare. Complete excision of the mass lead to a gradual improvement of the symptoms. Schwannoma should be considered as a cause of common peroneal neuropathy.

We experienced a case of an athlete with a painful mass on the distal peroneal musculature after sports activity, and diagnosed as the entrapment syndrome of superficial peroneal nerve. We treated the case with the mini-open and subcutaneous fasciotomy to release the entrapped peroneal nerve. We report the case with a review of the literature.

Superficial peroneal nerve entrapment is an uncommon compression neuropathy, and is frequently associated with a fascial defect and a muscle hernia. The standard treatment of that was the nerve decompression by complete or limited fasciotomy. But, we experienced a case of superficial peroneal nerve entrapment had satisfactory surgical outcome by fascial repair of peroneus muscle.

A case of intraneural ganglion, 5cm×2cm×1.5cm, which was located between the funiculi of the common peroneal nerve was excised completely under the operative microscope. There was no communication with adjacent bursa or joint.

Acupuncture has been widely used to treat a variety of disease and symptoms. But various complications have been reported. Among them, peripheral nerve injuries have been reported less frequently than other complications. The purpose of this report is to describe what we believe to be the first case of delayed superficial and deep peroneal nerve compressive neuropathy caused by fibrotic mass formed by neglected broken acupuncture needle.

OBJECTIVE: To determine if stretching the sciatic nerve in control and patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy significantly alters F-wave parameters. METHOD: We studied F-waves in the deep peroneal & posterior tibial nerves of 20 patients with unilateral lumbosacral radiculopathies and 22 controls. F-waves were recorded bilaterally in the neutral position and supine in 30o & 60o straight leg raising (SLR). F-wave parameters included minimal latency (F min), maximal latency (F max), mean latency (F mean), latency difference between F min and F max (chronodispersion), mean duration (F dur) and side to side difference in F min, F max, F mean and F dur. RESULTS: In controls, the F-wave latency was found to be longer in supine with SLR than in neutral position. In patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy, significant differences of F max, F mean and F dur between sides during 30o SLR were noted in the deep peroneal nerves, but all parameters in the posterior tibial nerves during SLR were not changed. CONCLUSION: In this study, we observed significant changes in F-wave latency in control during straight leg raising, but no significant changes in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy. For the clinical application to lumbosacral radiculopathy, further study is needed.
