ABSTRACT
Tarsal tunnel syndrome is often misdiagnosed it shares clinical features with other diseases of the lower extremity such as lumbar radiculopathy and arthritis. Failure to diagnose and treat neuropathies effectively can cause permanent neuropathic pain. We report a case of a ganglion cyst detected early using ultrasonography and MRI in a 51-year-old man who complained of rapidly aggravating pain, numbness and paresthesia on the great toe and the first metatarsal area in the sole, symptoms that resembled tarsal tunnel syndrome. Surgical treatment could be performed early with no permanent sequelae. We could also avoid repeated steroid injections or prescription medications.
