Case 8
Keyword(s):
Peroneal (fibular) neuropathy is the most common entrapment/compressive mononeuropathy in the lower extremity, often presenting with foot drop and numbness. The majority of the lesions are across the fibular neck, but more proximal and distal lesions exist. This case presents the clinical and electrodiagnostic findings in peroneal neuropathy and discusses in detail the differential diagnoses of foot drop. It highlights the importance of distinguishing peroneal nerve lesions from L5 radiculopathy, lumbar plexopathy, and sciatic neuropathy. Causes of acute and subacute peroneal mononeuropathies are emphasized.
