چکیده
OBJECTIVES Muscle hypertrophy is a relatively rare condition that may cause nerve entrapment syndromes. We report the case of a 14-year-old girl with unilateral hypertrophy of the abductor hallucis muscle with entrapment of the medial plantar nerve and review the literature. METHODS Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed unilateral hypertrophy of the abductor hallucis muscle. RESULTS Two injections of steroid and lidocaine at the point of tenderness resulted in resolution of the pain. CONCLUSIONS We report a rare case of hypertrophy of the abductor hallucis muscle considered with entrapment of the medial plantar nerve. Treatment of this condition should be selected according to the pathological condition of each patient.
