Neurilemoma of the Posterior Tibial Nerve and Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

Abstract: Tarsal tunnel syndrome is defined as a compressive neuropathy of the posterior tibial nerve in the tarsal canal. A neurilemoma is an uncommon, benign, encapsulated neoplasm derived from Schwann cells. We present a case of tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by this rare space-occupying lesion.

“…[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Less frequent indications include systemic etiologies, such as ischemia, diabetes mellitus, amyloidosis, vasculitis, peripheral vascular disease, and so on (Fig 4). There is scant literature systematically evaluating the frequency of the various etiologies affecting the TN.…”

“…Daneben existieren idiopathische Formen, denen keine Ursache zugeordnet werden kann. Durch Drucksteigerung (Ödem, Fehlstellung, Fehlbelastung) in der Verlaufsstrecke des Nervs wird dieser unter dem Retinaculum musculorum flexorum pedis eingeklemmt [131]. Im Vordergrund stehen Schmerzen und Sensibilitätsstörungen (z.…”

“…A Schwannoma tumour located in the posterior tibial nerve in the tarsal tunnel is extremely rare [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], and hence surgery of this pathology also occurs rarely. Schwannoma within the foot, causing pain syndrome, requires differentiation from Morton's metatarsalgia [11].…”

“…The main anatomical borders for the growth of Schwannoma (intrinsic cause of compression) in the tarsal tunnel are the midline ankle and the layers of the foot flexor retinaculum. The slow growing process of a benign tumour in a narrow anatomical space causes the occurrence of symptomatic tarsal tunnel syndrome, which is an entrapment neuropathy of the tibial nerve [7][8][9]. Due to troublesome neurological symptoms, the patient is qualified for surgical peripheral schwannoma removal [1,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”
