[Peroneal weakness].
The 22 year old male patient was admitted because of right sided peroneal nerve palsy two months after transient foot drop on the left side. Both pareses developed under a strict dietary regime leading to a weight loss of about 30 kg within 3 months. Slimmers' paralysis of peroneal nerve was diagnosed after exclusion of polyneuropathy or trauma as possible causes. Complete remission followed after a less restrictive diet.
