Osteochondroma or exostosis is the most common benign bone tumor, and occurring frequently in the proximal humerus, tibia, and distal femur. It rarely affects talus. Osteochondroma of talus is a very rare etiology of tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS). We report a rare case of extensive osteochondroma of the talus in a 60 year old female presenting with multiple swellings around the ankle and sympt...

INTRODUCTION Cases of acute tarsal tunnel syndrome are rare. To the best of our knowledge, we describe the only reported case of acute posterior tibial nerve compression resulting from adjacent haemotogenous pyogenic calcaneal osteomyelitis. CASE PRESENTATION A previously healthy 38-year-old Caucasian woman developed symptoms of acute tarsal tunnel syndrome in her right foot over a six-day pe...

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome (TTS) is an entrapment neuropathy of tibial nerve which is compressed in the tarsal tunnel, an anatomic structure formed between bones (medial wall of calcaneus, talus and distal tibia) and flexor retinaculum. The cases are usually idiopathic whereas occasionally TTS occurs secondary to space occupying lesions such as ganglia, tumors, bony protrusions [1-8]. Tarsal coalit...

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...

Mucolipidosis type III (MLIII) (MIM# 252600) is an uncommon autosomal recessive disorder that results from uridine 5'-diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine: lysosomal hydrolase N-acetyl-1-phosphotransferase or UDP-GlcNAc 1-phosphotransferase deficiency. Clinical manifestations include developmental delay, short stature and other structural abnormalities. Less common clinical features, such as carpal ...

INTRODUCTION The aanterior tarsal tunnel syndrome denotes the entrapment of the deep peroneal nerve under the inferior extensor retinaculum. Although various etiological factors have been reported to cause anterior tarsal syndrome, its occurrence with thrombosed dorsalis pedis artery has not been reported in the English literature. CASE PRESENTATION A 40 -year-old male patient was presented w...

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...
