Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is an entrapment neuropathy of the posterior tibial nerve or one of its branches within the tarsal tunnel, and is often caused by ganglia, lipoma, accessory muscles, varicosities, neural tumours, trauma and systemic diseases. We have successfully treated a patient with tarsal tunnel syndrome which was associated with os sustentaculi.

Management of postoperative tarsal tunnel syndrome is a perplexing problem to the surgeons. Autogenous vein wrapping graft is a effective method to decompress the tarsal tunnel. We treated 2 cases of postoperative tarsal tunnel syndrome with autogenous saphenous vein wrapping graft technique, and could get good results. Autogenous vein wrapping graft seems to be a good technique for tarsal tunnel syndrome with severe adhesion, particularly after surgery, and postoperative nerve adhesion can be prevented.

Tarsal tunnel syndrome is an entrapment neuropathy of the posterior tibial nerve or its branches in the fibro-osseous tunnel beneath the flexor retinaculum. This pathology is associated with multiple etiologies, including trauma, space-occupying lesions, and impaired biomechanics. We report a case of tarsal tunnel syndrome associated with gout tophi in a patient with untreated gout along with a review of the relevant literature on tarsal tunnel syndrome.

Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a complex of symptoms resulting from the compression of the posterior tibial nerve or its branches, Many disease have been previously reported in the literatures as etiological agents in tarsal tunnel syndrome. We reported a case of tarsal tunnel syndrome secondary to neurilemoma of the first branch of lateral plantar nerve. The symptoms were similar with the entrapment syndrome of the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve. Symptoms were completely relieved after operation.

This study is to observe the effect of Korean medicine treatment combined with electro-acupuncture and chuna manual treatment on tarsal tunnel syndrome inpatient. The patient, diagnosed as tarsal tunnel syndrome, was treated by Korean medicine treatment in combination with electro-acupuncture and chuna manual treatment. We measured visual analogue scale(VAS). Neuropathic pain scale(NPS) was adopted as a method of measuring the treatment results of pain & hypoesthesia. Rt. sole numbness & pain decreased from VAS 10 to VAS 4. Rt. foot paresthesia decreased from VAS 10 to VAS 4 and Rt. ankle pain was disappeared. NPS score decreased from 80 to 62. Korean medicine treatment in combination with electro-acupuncture and chuna manual treatment is proved to be helpful to improve the symptoms of the tarsal tunnel syndrome patient.

Purpose : In order to estimate clinical effects of Oriental Medicine Treatment with acupotomy therapy of Tarsal tunnel Syndrome Methods : From 5th November, 2008 to 8th November, 2008, 1 male patient diagnosed as Tarsal tunnel syndrome(clinical diagnosed) was treated with general oriental medicine therapy (acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, physical therapy, herbal medication) and acupotomy. Results : The patient's Rt foot paresthesia, pain were remarkably improved. Conclusions : This study demonstrates that oriental medical treatment with acuputomy therapy has notable effect in improving symptoms of tarsal tunnel syndrome. as though we had not wide experience in this treatment, more research is needed.

Purpose: Tarsal tunnel syndrome is characterized by pain and paresthesia of the entire posterior tibial nerve and its branches of the lower extremity. The cause of the tarsal tunnel syndrome is usually unknown but, rare case of space occupying benign tumors such as a ganglion may be one of the causes. We report our experiences of surgical treatment of the tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by ganglion we have encountered recently. Methods: A 54-year-old male patient presented with paresthesia, burning pain, positive Tinnel's sign without preceeding trauma, infection or any other causes of event. With surgical intervention, we completely removed the space occupying ganglion and with performed surgical release of the posterior tibial nerve and its branches. Results: At a 14-month follow up examination, the symptoms of paresthesia, burning pain, sensory disturbance was much improved compared to the preoperative conditions. Takakura's rating scale was elevated from 4(Poor) to 8(Good). Conclusion: We report our surgical experience of a rare case of tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by a ganglion, with a review of literature.

1962년, Keck에 의해 족근관 증후군이 발표된 이후로 족근관 증후군은 많이 보고되어지는 신경포착증후군 중 하나다. 족근관 증후군의 원인은 대부분 알려지지 않고 있지만, 양성종양이 그 원인이 될 수 있다. 저자들은 족근관 증후군을 주소로 외래방문한 32세 여자의 신경초종과 39세 남자의 결절종의 수술적 치료를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Purpose: To review the results of surgical decompression for tarsal tunnel syndrome associated with calcaneus fractures. Materials and Methods: Six tarsal tunnel syndromes in five patients were surgically decompressed at our hospital with followed up of average 26.0 months (range, $12{\sim}36$ months). All patients were male and average age at surgery was 50.0 years (range, $33{\sim}69$years). All five cases developed after calcaneus fractures including one bilateral case. Clinical results were assessed according to the criteria of Pfeiffer and Cracchiolo. Results: The result was good in three cases, fair in one case and poor in two cases. Four cases in four patients were satisfied with the result of treatment. Conclusion: Clinical results of surgical treatment for tarsal tunnel syndrome associated with calcaneus fracture of the foot or ankle was improved and maintained in four of six cases.

Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a nerve entrapment syndrome of posterior tibial nerve as it passes through the tarsal tunnel. The patient presented posteromedial malleolar swelling, palpable mass and pain, and was misdiagnosed as ganglion cyst in the other clinic. Aspiration and steroid injection were done for years, which had no significant effect on symptom relief. As skin lesion and pigmentation abruptly appeared around the palpable mass, MRI and physical exam were done in our hospital. The patient was diagnosed as varicose veininduced tarsal tunnel syndrome and therefore tarsal tunnel decompression following dilatated varicose vein resection was done. The patient's symptom was improved after the surgery. Therefore, herein we report this case.
