Entry term(s) neuropatía por atrapamiento del túnel tarsiano
neuropatía por compresión del túnel tarsiano
neuropatía tibial del túnel tarsiano
Scope note: Compresión en el túnel tarsiano de las ramas distales del NERVIO TIBIAL posterior (que se divide en los nervios plantar interno, plantar externo y calcáneo); se encuentra en la zona posterior del maléolo interno y por debajo del retináculo de los músculos flexores del pie. Los síntomas incluyen dolor del tobillo que se irradia hacia el pie y que tiende a agravarse al caminar. La exploración puede revelar el signo de Tinel (dolor que se irradia después de percutir el nervio) sobre el nervio tibial en el tobillo, debilidad y atrofia de los músculos pequeños del pie, o pérdida de la sensibilidad en el pie. (Foot Ankle 1990;11(1):47-52)

Scope note: Entrapment of the distal branches of the posterior TIBIAL NERVE (which divides into the medial plantar, lateral plantar, and calcanial nerves) in the tarsal tunnel, which lies posterior to the internal malleolus and beneath the retinaculum of the flexor muscles of the foot. Symptoms include ankle pain radiating into the foot which tends to be aggravated by walking. Examination may reveal Tinel's sign (radiating pain following nerve percussion) over the tibial nerve at the ankle, weakness and atrophy of the small foot muscles, or loss of sensation in the foot.
