When a patient represents pain in foot, physician can easily overlook compression neuropathy of peripheral nerve as it is uncommon. Among nerve entrapment syndrome encountered in the foot, selective compression in lateral branch of deep peroneal nerve (DPN) is rare. We report a case of a patient with pain and dysesthesia in dorsolateral foot which turned out as lateral branch of deep peroneal nerve entrapment syndrome caused by talonavicular joint effusion. We would like to share diagnostic work up flow and conservative treatment courses. This case manifests the importance of the deep peroneal nerve and its branches in clinical setting of pain and ankle instability.

A case of a peroneal nerve palsy caused by repeatedly recurred intraneural ganglion cyst is presented. A 19 year old male suffered from tingling sensation on the foot dorsum more than one year and underwent two times of mass excision and nerve palsy was recorvered. But it was recurred once more after 10 months after the second excision. The mass was located in the fibro-osseous tunnel against the fibular neck and the origin of the peroneus longus. The third complete excision was done and full recovery was obtained in 6 months.

Superficial peroneal nerve (SPN) injuries happen occasionally during surgical treatment of fibular fracture, lateral ankle ligament repair, etc. These injuries are caused because of the variable location of the SPN. It is the injuries are usually treated by steroid injections or anticonvulsants. However, neural symptoms may not respond to treatment and may persist and progress to a painful neuroma. Intractable pain may need surgical treatment. We examined two cases of iatrogenic postoperative SPN injury, and we treated them with transection of the SPN and the intraosseous transposition of the proximal nerve stump using the thrombin-fibrinogen complex with satisfactory outcomes. We report these two cases with a review of the relevant literature.

Backgrounds: The pathway of the sural nerve (SN) is variable, but usually divided into medial and lateral sural branches joining the posterior tibial nerve (PTN) and the peroneal nerve (PN). The sural nerve may be affected by PN palsy. The frequency or the severity of SN involvement in peroneal palsy is not known. The purpose of the study is to investigate the frequency and the severity of the SN involvement by the peroneal nerve palsy. Methods: Total 85 patients were included with peroneal palsy. Amplitudes of distal peroneal, sural, and superficial peroneal nerves (SPN) were compared between normal and paralyzed sides. The frequency and severity of SN involvement by peroneal palsy were investigated. Results: Mean age was $48.4{\pm}17.4$ years old at the time of the test. Peroneal palsy was right side in 32, left in 38, and bilateral in 15 patients. Mean amplitudes of affected distal PN, SPN, and SN were $1.51{\pm}1.64mV$, $3.50{\pm}4.86{\mu}V$, and $10.42{\pm}6.59{\mu}V$ in right side, and $1.19{\pm}1.57mV$, $4.38{\pm}5.67{\mu}V$, and $11.06{\pm}6.87{\mu}V$ in left side, respectively. Sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitude of the SN in the affected side was average $73.7{\pm}33.1%$ of normal, which was significantly lower than that in the normal side(p<0.01). The decrease of the sural SNAP amplitude was more than 15% in 39 out of 70 patients with unilateral peroneal palsy. Peroneal compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitude was not correlated with the amplitude of the sural SNAP. By complete peroneal palsy, SN SNAP amplitude was decreased to 4% of SNAP and $57.7{\pm}31.8%$ of that in normal side. Conclusions: PN injury without PTN involvement may induce reduction of sural SNAP amplitude. Because of the anatomic variation of SN, the electrophysiological findings are variable. It should be considered to interpret the location of the PN lesion.

Objectives: The Purpose of this study is to report the effects of Korean medical treatment on patient of peroneal neuropathy caused by sitting cross-legged. Methods: The patient diagnosed as peroneal neuropathy was treated by Acupuncture, Bee Venom therapy, Herbal medicine. To evaluate the effects of Korean treatment, we used Range of Motion(ROM) of Ankle, Visual Analog Scale(VAS), Numeric Rating Scale(NRS), Ankle-Hind-foot Scale(AHS), Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging(DITI). Results: After treatment, ROM of Ankle, VAS, NRS, AHS were improved. Temperature Difference(${\Delta}T$) was decreased on DITI. Conclusions: This study suggests that Korean medical treatment might be effective on sitting cross-legged patient diagnosed as Peroneal Neuropathy.

Purpose: To review the results of surgical treatment for superficial peroneal and sural nerve lesion unrelated to laceration. Materials and Methods: Eleven superficial peroneal and sural nerve lesions in eleven patients were surgically treated at our hospital with follow up of average 20.7 months (range, 9-64 months). The anatomical locations of the lesion were on superficial peroneal nerve in seven patients including two patients having ganglion and sural nerve in four patients. Two patients were male and the average age at surgery was 41.5 years (range, 23-57 years). Six cases developed after repetitive sprain and five cases had no trauma history. Clinical results were assessed according to the criteria of Pfeiffer and Cracchiolo. Results: The methods of operation were proximal resection of the nerve lesion in nine cases and removal of ganglion only in two cases. The results were excellent in four cases, good in five cases, fair in one case and poor in one case. Ten cases (10 patients) were satisfied with the result of treatment. Conclusion: We can expect satisfactory results of surgical treatment for superficial peroneal and sural nerve lesion unrelated to laceration.

49세 남자 환자가 숙박업소에서 의식을 잃은 채 발견되어 응급실로 내원하였다. 환자는 조현증 및 주요우울증으로 항정신병 약물 및 항우울증 약물(vortioxetine hydrobromide, mirtazapine, sertraline hydrochloride, quetiapine, alprazolam)을 복용 중이었으며 환자 주변에 상기 약물들을 과량 복용한 흔적이 남아있었다. 신체검사에서 좌측 둔부 및 가측 대퇴부로 동통, 창백 및 부종 관찰되었으며 좌측 족관절 이하의 능동 관절운동이 불가하였다. 그리고 경골 및 비골신경 영역의 감각이 소실되어 있었다. 가장 종창이 심했던 가측 대퇴부에서 측정한 둔부 구획 내 압력은 42 mmHg 이었으며 자기공명영상에서 좌측 둔부 근육 및 주변 연부 조직의 부종 및 고강도 신호를 보이고 있었다. 응급 근막절개술을 시행하였고 24시간 이후 하지 감각 및 근력이 일부 회복되었다.

목적: 이 연구의 목적은 말단 신경을 침범하는 결절종을 가진 환자의 수술적 치료를 고찰하는 데 있다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년부터 2000년까지 결절종으로 인한 신경적 증상을 가지고 있었고 수술적으로 치료받았던 12예의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 평균 나이는 44.3(15-71)세였다. 압박 받았던 신경은 경골 신경이 3예로 가장 많았고 견갑상 신경, 총 비골 신경, 요골 신경, 척골 신경이 각각 2예, 정중 신경이 1예였다. 동통은 6명의 환자에서 있었고, 감각 이상이나 운동력 저하가 각각 7예의 환자에서 보였고 4명의 환자에서는 이 두 증상이 동시에 있었다. 결과: 술전 동통을 호소하였던 6명 모두 술후 동통은 소실되었다. 술전 감각 이상이 있었던 7명의 환자 중 5명에서 호전이 있었으며 술전 운동력 약화를 보였던 환자 모두 호전이 있었다. 술전 감각 이상과 운동력 약화를 동시에 보였던 환자 4명 중 2명만이 완전한 감각의 회복을 보였고 이는 불량한 예후 인자를 암시한다. 결론: 이러한 압박 신경병증을 일으키는 결절종의 정확한 조기 진단 및 절제는 우수한 임상적 결과를 보인다.

Purpose: To review the outcomes of surgical treatment for superficial peroneal nerve entrapment. Materials and Methods: Ultrasonogram was used for diagnosis and surgical treatment. Seven superficial peroneal nerve entrapment were surgically treated with follow up of average 16 months (range, 6~29 months). Three patients were male and four patients were female with mean age 36.7 years (range, 19~51 years). Four cases developed after repetitive ankle sprain and three cases had no etiology. Results: Operation was performed mini-open and subcutaneous fasciotomy under local anesthesia. The results were excellent in two cases, good in four cases, fair in one case. Conclusion: Ultrasonogram was useful for diagnosis and surgical treatment of superficial peroneal nerve entrapment syndrome.

We experienced a case of an athlete with a painful mass on the distal peroneal musculature after sports activity, and diagnosed as the entrapment syndrome of superficial peroneal nerve. We treated the case with the mini-open and subcutaneous fasciotomy to release the entrapped peroneal nerve. We report the case with a review of the literature.
