Peroneal neuropathy is the most common mononeuropathy encountered in the lower extremities. Isolated injuries to the dorsal cutaneous peroneal nerve (DCPN) are uncommon, and most of the reported cases are due to trauma or iatrogenic causes. We report a case of a middle-aged woman who presented with a nine-month history of tingling sensation over the dorsum of her left foot with normal electromyography (EMG) findings and was subsequently diagnosed with entrapment of the DCPN at the ankle by ultrasonographic examination.
腓总神经病变是下肢最常见的单神经病变。腓总神经皮支(DCPN)单独损伤并不常见,大多数报道的病例是由外伤或医源性原因引起的。我们报告一例中年女性病例,该患者左脚背有9个月的刺痛感病史,肌电图(EMG)检查结果正常,随后通过超声检查诊断为踝关节处DCPN卡压。
