This is a case report of a boy who presented with unilateral foot drop approximately 1 year after traumatic injury from skateboarding. Exploratory surgical operation was eventually performed, and histological examination of the surgical specimen revealed leprous peripheral neuropathy of the peroneal nerve. The patient had immigrated from Vietnam to the United States 3 years previously. The occurrence, albeit rare, of this entity in the immigrants from endemic leprosy regions is discussed.
这是一例关于一名男孩的病例报告，该男孩在滑板外伤后约1年出现单侧足下垂。最终进行了探查性外科手术，手术标本的组织学检查显示腓总神经存在麻风性周围神经病。该患者3年前从越南移民至美国。本文讨论了这种疾病在麻风病流行地区移民中发生的情况，尽管较为罕见。
