  • Title: Bilateral Flexor Digitorum Accessorius Longus Precipitating Bilateral Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome: A Case Report.
    Author: Propp BE, Torre BB, Bellas N, Sathe V.
    Journal: JBJS Case Connect; 2023 Apr 01; 13(2):. PubMed ID: 37026795.
    Abstract:
    CASE: A 29-year-old woman presented with bilateral tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by bilateral flexor digitorum accessorius longus, experiencing immediate relief of symptoms after surgical intervention through 1 year. CONCLUSION: Accessory muscles can cause compressive neuropathies in multiple areas of the body. In patients who have FDAL as the cause of their tarsal tunnel syndrome, surgeons should have a high index of suspicion of bilateral FDAL if the same patient develops similar contralateral symptoms.
