Abstract

Foot drop is usually derived from peroneal nerve injury.Traumatic causes of peroneal nerve injury are more common than insidious causes including metabolic syndromes and mass lesions.We present a case with common peroneal neuropathy due to schwannoma, which is extremely rare.Complete excision of the mass lead to a gradual improvement of the symptoms.Schwannoma should be considered as a cause of common peroneal neuropathy.(Korean
