Anterior Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome: Electrophysiological and Clinical Evaluation of Five Cases
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2012, Vol 29, Issue 4
Abstract
Anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome is entrapment of deep peroneal nerve between the inferior extensor retinaculum and fascia overlying the talus and navicular bones that is an infrequent and probabaly overlooked condition. We report five cases which were referred to EMG laboratory with different diagnosis other than anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome. In our cases, ground sitting habits such as legs crossed position and practising “namaz” is thought to be etiological factors. As our opinion, hand dominance and special sitting position during namaz probably determined the side of the affected limb. It is important to keep in mind anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome during the EMG examination especially in patiens complaining foot ache with ambiguous diagnosis.
