    Abstract:
    Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a multifaceted condition caused by the compression or lesion of the posterior tibial nerve (PTN) that passes through a retromalleolar osteofibrous canal, the so-called tarsal tunnel. It has multiple etiologies, including peripheral nerve tumors, which must be suspected when this syndrome is resistant to medical treatment and infiltrations. We here report the original case of a 15-year-old girl presenting with tarsal tunnel syndrome revealing neurofibroma of the PTN, misdiagnosed as plantar fasciculitis and S1 radiculopathy. Le syndrome du canal tarsien; c´est l´ensemble des manifestations causées par une compression ou lésion du nerf tibial postérieur (NTP) qui passe dans un canal osteofibreux retromalléolaire appelé le canal tarsien. Dont les étiologies sont très diverses entre autres les tumeurs des nerfs périphériques. Que faut-il savoir suspecter devant ce syndrome résistant au traitement médical et aux infiltrations ? Nous rapportons un cas original d´une fille de 15 ans qui présentait un syndrome de canal tarsien révélant un neurofibrome de NTP, diagnostiqué à tort comme une fascite plantaire et une radiculopathie de S1.
