Abstract
The entrapment syndrome of the intermediate dorsal cutaneous branch of the superficial peroneal nerve is rarely reported. Here we reported a 17- year-old male patient, who suffered from left dorso-lateral foot numbness after prolonged local compression of the lateral foot. the electrophysiological studies of the left intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve, 10 days after onset of symptoms, revealed normal sensory nerve conduction velocity with significantly reduced amplitude of nerve action potential. these findings were compatible with the diagnosis of entrapment syndrome of the left intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve. The patient's symptoms disappeared spontaneously 8 weeks later. The purpose of this case report is to state the symptoms, signs, diagnosis and prognosis of the entrapment syndrome of the intermediate dorsal cutaneous branch of the superficial peroneal nerve and to remind all clinicians about the rare disease.
