“…Pain in the heel or ankle suggests that the medial calcaneal nerve and the motor branch abductor of the fifth toe are affected. Pain in the medial border of the foot and medial toes suggests that the medial plantar nerve is affected, whereas pain in the lateral border of the foot and the lateral toes suggests that the lateral plantar nerve is affected [7].…”

Posteromedial tarsal tunnel syndrome is a disorder affecting the tibial nerve or its branches. Diagnosis is established on the basis of physical examination and can be confirmed by electrophysiological evidence. However, diagnostic imaging is always required to identify the possible site of compression. High-resolution ultrasound (US) is playing an increasingly important role in the study of the nerves thanks to a series of advantages over magnetic resonance imaging, such as lower costs and widespread availability, high spatial resolution, fast examination using axial scans, dynamic and comparative studies, possibility of carrying out a study with the patient in the standing position, US Tinel sign finding, and the contribution of color/power Doppler US. We present the results obtained in a series of 81 patients who underwent US imaging between 2008 and 2013 due to posteromedial tarsal tunnel syndrome. Keywords Tarsal tunnel Á Tibial nerve Á UltrasoundRiassunto La sindrome del tunnel tarsale posterioremediale è una sofferenza del nervo tibiale o di un suo ramo. La diagnosi è clinica e può essere confermata dall'elettrofisiologia, ma un'indagine con imaging è sempre necessaria per trovare l'elemento di compressione. L'ecografia ad alta risoluzione sta giocando un ruolo sempre più importante per lo studio dei nervi, per i diversi vantaggi rispetto alla risonanza magnetica: costo e disponibilità, risoluzione spaziale, esplorazione rapida mediante tecnica di scansione assiale, dinamica e comparativa, possibilità di uno studio con paziente in piedi, segno di Tinel ecografico, contributo del Doppler.

“…Physical examination may also reveal a possible deformity of the foot such as varus or valgus deformity, which may cause pain while the patient is at rest and during walking due to stretching of the nerve [7].…”
