Neurofibroma Causing Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
For answer see page 154 A 45-year-old woman with a history of neurofibromatosis presented with pain and numbness in her left foot for the past 3 months. She noted that a mass had been present in the medial aspect of left ankle for several years, but only in the past months had it caused paresthesia over the plantar foot and tarsal tunnel. Physical examination confirmed a tender mass in the medi...
متن کاملCompression sclerotherapy of varicose veins.
THIS study was originally stimulated by an article in the Lancet describing the l"continuous compression technique of injecting varicose veins" (Fegan 1963). Through the generosity of the Upjohn Foundation I was able to visit Dublin in October, 1967 and study the work originated by Fegan being carried out on an extensive scale in the Sir Patrick Dun's Hospital and the Rotunda Hospital. Since th...
متن کاملArterial Anatomy of the Posterior Tibial Nerve in the Tarsal Tunnel.
BACKGROUND Both vascular and compression etiologies have been proposed as the source of neurologic symptoms in tarsal tunnel syndrome. Advancing the understanding of the arterial anatomy supplying the posterior tibial nerve (PTN) and its branches may provide insight into the cause of tarsal tunnel symptoms. The purpose of this study was to describe the arterial anatomy of the PTN and its branch...
متن کاملThe near-nerve sensory nerve conduction in tarsal tunnel syndrome.
The near-nerve sensory nerve conduction in the medial and lateral plantar nerves was studied in 25 cases of tarsal tunnel syndrome. Sensory nerve conduction was abnormal in 24 cases (96%) The most common abnormalities were slow nerve conduction velocities and dispersion phenomenon (prolonged duration of compound nerve action potentials). These two electrophysiological abnormalities are indicati...
متن کاملPlexiform Neurofibroma of the Posterior Tibial Nerve Misdiagnosed as Proximal Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome: A Case Report
Plexiform neurofibromas of the foot are rare, benign tumors of the peripheral nerves. Diagnosis can be challenging if they present with symptoms mimicking other peripheral nerve pathologies. Tarsal tunnel syndrome is an entrapment syndrome of the entire tibial nerve behind the medial malleolus and under the flexor retinaculum. The clinical presentation typically includes posteromedial pain, pos...
