ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Foot drop (FD) is characterized by an inability to lift the foot against gravity because of dorsiflexor muscle weakness. The aim of the present study is to report a clinical case of acute non-traumatic FD in patients with peroneal intraneural ganglion, after performing a scoping review on the methodological management of this disease.METHODS:
We performed a review of the literature and reported the case of a 49-year-old man with acute FD caused by an intraneural ganglion cyst of the peroneal nerve.RESULTS:
Out of a total of 201 articles, 3 were suitable for our review beyond our case report. The acute FD caused by peroneal intraneural ganglion can be managed by a careful clinical-instrumental differential diagnosis. A targeted surgery with subsequent rehabilitation produced a satisfactory motor recovery.CONCLUSIONS:
Acute FD requires an appropriate diagnostic-therapeutic framework to identify and effectively treat the causes in order to promote complete recovery.
