The Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

Abstract

Since Keck described the tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) in 1962, it has been one of the most frequently diagnosed of the entrapment neuropathies. TTS is usually of unknown origin. This is a report of two unusual cases: TTS caused by neurilemmoma in a 33-year-old woman, and TTS caused by subperiosteal ganglion in a 14-year-old girl. The symptoms were relieved, in both instances, with surgical excision.
