A Flexor Digitorum Accessorius Longus Muscle Causing Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome: A Case Report

摘要


A 43-year-old man presented with numbness and pain in both ankles and feet for 4 years. Bilateral tibial nerves and left sural nerve showed decreased nerve conduction velocities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the right ankle detected a muscular structure in the right tarsal tunnel compressing the right posterior tibial nerve. The right flexor digitorum accessorius longus muscle was diagnosed and confirmed by surgery. Decompression of the tarsal tunnel and resection of the accessory muscle were performed by a neurosurgeon. Right ankle pain and numbness resolved following surgery. MRI of the left ankle was scheduled within a short time.
