  • Title: [Post-traumatic tarsal tunnel syndrome: interest of muscular MRI].
    Author: Lambert A, Ben Salem D, Regis A, Soichot P, Ricolfi F.
    Journal: Rev Neurol (Paris); 2008 Jan; 164(1):77-81. PubMed ID: 18342061.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a compressive neuropathy of the tibial nerve with multiple causes. This syndrome is difficult to diagnose and can be missed because of its subjective symptomatology. OBSERVATION: In our patient, suspected post-traumatic tarsal tunnel syndrome was confirmed at MRI. This case highlights muscle signal anomalies caused by their denervation in the tibial nerve territory. CONCLUSION: MRI can provide supplementary information to the electromyography (EMG) and contribute to positive and etiologic diagnosis of peripheral nerve lesions.
