Dystonic drop foot gait in a patient with manganism.
In 1983–1984, a 29-year-old battery factory worker gradually developed gait difficulties and tremor. In 1984, he was found to have severely elevated serum manganese levels and retired from work.

Background: Injury to the common peroneal nerve disrupts the motor control pathway to ankle dorsiflexors and evertors, as well as toe extensors, resulting in pathological gait and foot drop. Direct external compression on the fibular head is the most frequent cause of peroneal nerve impairment and has poor prognosis. Methods and Patients: Here, we report the surgical outcome of 21 patients with...

Figure 1: Course of the common, deep (blue) and superficial peroneal nerve, sites of stimulation for motor nerve conduction studies are shown by green discs. Figure 1 Textbooks of neurology are just like cookery or gardening books. It is all so easy on paper. With a good working knowledge of neurological anatomy, it seems, almost any problem can be precisely localised. A couple of of hours yomp...
