Excerpt

Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is an uncommon entrapment neuropathy caused by the compression of the posterior tibial nerve and its branches in the tarsal tunnel. It is classified as a rare disease by the Office of Rare Diseases Research of the National Institutes of Health, as it affects 1 in 1,500 people. It has a marginally higher incidence rate (56 %) in women. The most common causes of TTS are trauma (17 %), varicosities (13 %), talipes varus (11 %), fibrosis (9 %) and talipes valgus (8 %). Twenty to forty percent of cases have no discernible cause [1]. A case of tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by a giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath is presented. This is followed by a review of the literature. …
