“…6,7 The cause is said to be entrapment of the tibial nerve by the flexor retinaculum at the ankle, and surgical release has been widely accepted as the appropriate therapy. 4,6,7 Unfortunately, electrophysiologic docu-mentation of injury to the tibial nerve at the ankle is not as straightforward as in the other entrapment syndromes, 2,14 and plantar foot pain may be mistakenly assumed to be coming from the ankle if other possible sites of injury are not considered. We report our 2 cases in the context of increasing skepticism regarding the diagnosis of tarsal tunnel syndrome 2,14 to point out that proximal nerve injury may elicit distally projected symptoms.…”

“…Les causes intrinsèques concernent les lésions qui occupent de l'espace dans le tunnel tarsien : ganglion, kyste, ectasie veineuse, lipome, tumeur nerveuse, téno-synovite des fléchisseurs, muscle surnuméraire, hypertrophie de l'abducteur du I, exostose, anomalie fibreuse des gaines et du ligament annulaire interne, synovite proliférative (polyarthrite rhumatoïde) [2][3][4]. Les causes extrinsèques sont secondaires à des traumatismes (fracture malléolaire, entorse tibiotarsienne, traumatisme du pied à l'origine d'hématome compressif ou d'un oedème de l'atmosphère fibroconjonctive du tunnel) ou à des facteurs biomécaniques (pieds varus, valgus, pieds plats, pronation du pied : atteinte nerveuse par élongation) [5,6].…”

“…L'augmentation du temps de latence motrice ou sensitive du nerf plantaire médial ou latéral ou la découverte d'une fibrillation au niveau des muscles intrinsèques du pied permettent d'affirmer le diagnostic du syndrome du tunnel tarsien [5,17]. Ce temps de latence motrice reste non modifié dans plus de la moitié des cas [18].…”
