“…A relationship between marked weight loss and peroneal nerve palsy has been well documented in reports of patients with alcoholism, chronic infection, thyrotoxicosis, and cancer (Sherman and Easton, 1977). Currently, underlying situations such as dieting for fitness or appearance (Cruz-Martinez et al, 1997) or marijuana smoking (Watemberg et al, 2000) or anorexia nervosa (Lutte et al, 1997) have been added.…”

“…Foot drop has been implicated in dieting and malnutrition in literature prior to the era of bariatric surgery. Other reports117, 130 identified peroneal nerve palsy following weight reduction; micronutrient deficiencies were not excluded as a contributory cause. Denny‐Brown36 estimated that a transient foot drop developed during captivity in approximately 10% of World War II prisoners of war suffering from severe and prolonged malnutrition; no cause was ever determined.…”

Bariatric surgical procedures are increasingly common. In this review, we characterize the neurologic complications of such procedures, including their mechanisms, frequency, and prognosis. Literature review yielded 50 case reports of 96 patients with neurologic symptoms after bariatric procedures. The most common presentations were peripheral neuropathy in 60 (62%) and encephalopathy in 30 (31%). Among the 60 patients with peripheral neuropathy, 40 (67%) had a polyneuropathy and 18 (30%) had mononeuropathies, which included 17 (94%) with meralgia paresthetica and 1 with foot drop. Neurologic emergencies including Wernicke's encephalopathy, rhabdomyolysis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome were also reported. In 18 surgical series reported between 1976 and 2004, 133 of 9996 patients (1.3%) were recognized to have neurologic complications (range: 0.08-16%). The only prospective study reported a neurologic complication rate of 4.6%, and a controlled retrospective study identified 16% of patients with peripheral neuropathy. There is evidence to suggest a role for inflammation or an immunologic mechanism in neuropathy after gastric bypass. Micronutrient deficiencies following gastric bypass were evaluated in 957 patients in 8 reports. A total of 236 (25%) had vitamin B(12) deficiency and 11 (1%) had thiamine deficiency. Routine monitoring of micronutrient levels and prompt recognition of neurological complications can reduce morbidity associated with these procedures.

“…Presentation will vary depending on the severity and frequency of initiating factors. Weight loss, 43,44 leg crossing, 45,46 kneeling or squatting position, [47][48][49][50] and runners or joggers who run daily or long distances with regularity 51 have all been associated with peroneal neuropathy at the fibular head and should be questioned for in the presenting history. The variation in clinical presentation will depend on which portion of the peroneal nerve is most affected.…”
