Abstract
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a multifaceted condition caused by the compression or lesion of the posterior tibial nerve (PTN) that passes through a retromalleolar osteofibrous canal, the so-called tarsal tunnel. It has multiple etiologies, including peripheral nerve tumors, which must be suspected when this syndrome is resistant to medical treatment and infiltrations. We here report the original case of a 15-year-old girl presenting with tarsal tunnel syndrome revealing neurofibroma of the PTN, misdiagnosed as plantar fasciculitis and S1 radiculopathy.
