Foot drop (FD) is characterized by an inability to lift the foot against gravity because of dorsiflexor muscle weakness. The aim of the present study is to report a clinical case of acute non-traumatic FD in patients with peroneal intraneural ganglion, after performing a scoping review on the methodological management of this disease.
We performed a review of the literature and reported the case of a 49-year-old man with acute FD caused by an intraneural ganglion cyst of the peroneal nerve.
Out of a total of 201 articles, 3 were suitable for our review beyond our case report. The acute FD caused by peroneal intraneural ganglion can be managed by a careful clinical-instrumental differential diagnosis. A targeted surgery with subsequent rehabilitation produced a satisfactory motor recovery.
Acute FD requires an appropriate diagnostic-therapeutic framework to identify and effectively treat the causes in order to promote complete recovery.
足下垂（FD）的特征是由于背屈肌无力而无法对抗重力抬起足部。本研究的目的是在对该疾病的方法学管理进行范围综述后，报告一例腓神经内神经节患者急性非创伤性足下垂的临床病例。
我们进行了文献综述，并报告了一例49岁男性因腓神经内神经节囊肿导致急性足下垂的病例。
在总共201篇文章中，除了我们的病例报告外，有3篇适合我们的综述。腓神经内神经节引起的急性足下垂可通过仔细的临床-器械鉴别诊断来处理。针对性手术及随后的康复治疗产生了令人满意的运动恢复效果。
急性足下垂需要适当的诊断-治疗框架来识别并有效治疗病因，以促进完全康复。
