“…The needle EMG study shows the denervation process in the involved intrinsic muscles of the foot [10][11][12][13] . Criteria used for diagnosis of CPN entrapment across the fibular head include two or more of the following: (a) slow NCV across the fibular head with normal NCV below the fibular head.…”

Background: No epidemiological studies on the prevalence of compressive neuropathy have been undertaken in Arab countries. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of the most common types of compressive neuropathies in Qena governorate/Egypt. Methods: The study was part of a community-based survey carried out to assess the prevalence of neuromuscular disorders among the Qena population. A random sampling of 10 districts, 5,039 inhabitants aged ≥20. There were 3,050 urban residents (60.5%) and 1,989 (39.5%) from the rural community. Patients were diagnosed using a screening questionnaire for diagnosis of entrapment neuropathies. Positive cases were referred to the Qena University Hospital. They were given full clinical, electrophysiological and laboratory investigations. Results: Compressive neuropathy was recorded in 165 cases giving a CPR = 3.3% of population at risk (≥20 years). Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) was diagnosed in 155 cases giving a CPR = 3.1% with a significantly higher prevalence among females than males (5.3 vs. 0.9%) and in rural compared with urban populations (4.6 vs. 2.1%). Ulnar neuropathy at the elbow was the second common type of entrapment with a CPR = 0.1% followed by radial nerve palsy, tarsal tunnel syndrome and common peroneal nerve palsy. Conclusion: The overall crude prevalence rate of CTS is comparable with that in other countries.

Between 1989 and 2000, 16 patients underwent surgery for tarsal tunnel syndrome; 12 patients (13 feet) were available for follow-up at a mean of 83 (12-143) months. The symptoms had resolved in six feet, were improved in four, were unchanged in two and recurred after five years in one. Better results are obtained in patients who have space occupying lesions than in those in whom the aetiology is idiopathic or post-traumatic or those with foot deformities.Résumé Entre 1989 et 2000 nous avons traité chirurgicalement 16 malades présentant un syndrome du tunnel tarsien. Chez 12 malades (13 pieds) les résultats ont été évalués après une moyenne de 83 (12-143) mois. Pour six pieds les symptômes avaient complètement disparus, pour quatre pieds les symptômes ont été améliorés, deux pieds ont été inchangés et dans un cas les symptômes sont revenus après 60 mois. Le résultat du traitement chirurgical est meilleur chez les patients avec des lésions l'espace occupante. IntroductionTarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is an entrapment neuropathy of the posterior tibial nerve and its branches within the tunnel formed by the flexor retinaculum. It was first described by Kopell and Thompson [11] in 1960. The term "Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome" was first used independently by Keck [10] and Lam [12] in 1962. The syndrome may be idiopathic or secondary to direct pressure from space-occupying lesions, adhesions following trauma, inflammatory causes or deformities of the foot [1,2,21,24,26,28,30].Onset of symptoms is usually insidious. Patients usually complain of burning pain and numbness, especially on the medial plantar aspect of the foot, in the area served by the affected nerve [18,30]. Tinel's sign is usually positive [3,20,27]. There may be night pain and cramps in the longitudinal arch. Symptoms are related to exercise and maximal at the end of the day [14,21,30]. Diagnosis is made from the history, physical examination and nerve conduction studies. Normal nerve conduction studies, however, may not exclude an entrapment neuropathy [5,7,9,19,22]. In this study, we aimed to assess the factors that affect the outcomes of surgically treated TTS patients, such as different aetiologies, duration of symptoms etc.. Patients and methodsOf 16 patients with TTS who underwent surgery, 12, (13 feet) were available for review at a mean follow-up of 83 (12-143) months. There were nine women and three men, with a mean age of 39.5 (25-57) years and a mean duration of symptoms of 31.9 (2-240) months. In six patients the right foot was involved, five the left and both in one. Tinel's sign was positive pre-operatively in 12 feet and doubtful in one. All pre-operative EMGs, except for one, were consistent with a diagnosis of TTS. The findings were positive for the medial plantar nerve in four feet and for both plantar nerves in eight. There were significant foot deformities in five cases, three of which had pes planus, one splayfoot and one calcaneal fracture. Atrophy and weakness of the plantar muscles was found in one case, whose symptoms were c...

“…Tarsai tunnel syndrome is an uncornmon disorder (43,105), which presents as a burning, or tingling pain located diffusely on the planta aspect of the foot. Symptoms can be reproduced by cornpressing the tibial nerve, ankle dorsiflexion, and/or heel eversion.…”

The Effects of Tarsal Tunnel Release and Stabilization Procedures On Tibia1 NerveTension in a Surgicaliy Created Pes Planus Foot.Masters of Science, 1998, Dr. Johnny Tak-Choy Lau, Institute of Medical Science, University of Toronto. Abstract:An in vitro study was performed on 11 cadaver legs to study the effects of tarsal tunnel release, distraction calcaneocuboid arthrodesis, and triple arthrodesis on tibial nerve tension in surgically created pes planus feet. Tibia1 nerve tension was measured during dorsiflexion, eversion, combined dorsiflexion-eversion, and cyclical load with 0°, 1507 and 25' of intemal rotation, and repeated on the same leg following each surgical procedure.A pes planus defomiity significantly increased tibial nerve tension compared to baseline for al1 foot positions and cyclical load. A t a r d tunnel release significantiy increased nerve tension during eversion, dorsif...
