Abstract

We report a case of delayed diagnosis of tarsal tunnel syndrome caused by a ganglion arising from the talo-calcaneal joint. Unusually the symptoms were mainly due to the lateral planter nerve compression with a positive Tinel's sign. A surgical decompression was successful in relieving the dysaesthesia in spite of a 7 years history.
