Sonography as an aid to neurophysiological studies in diagnosing tarsal tunnel syndrome.
Diagnosing tarsal tunnel syndrome can be difficult because of varying clinical diagnostic criteria and equivocal physical signs. We present a case of tarsal tunnel syndrome where nerve conduction identified distal tibial neuropathy and high-resolution sonography was able to show nerve swelling within the tarsal tunnel.
