The goal of this exhibit is to: (1) Review anatomy of nerves in the lower extremity, (2) Provide an overview of the common causes and imaging manifestations of entrapment neuropathies of the ankle and foot, and (3) Discuss the imaging and clinical presentation of some of the most commonly encountered entrapment neuropathies in order to improve awareness and detection of these conditions.

Our exhibit will review the anatomy of nerves in the lower extremity, discuss the causes and clinical manifestations of common lower extremity entrapment neuropathies, and provide magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examples of each, including: (1) Superficial Peroneal Nerve Compression, (2) Deep Peroneal Nerve Compression, (3) Sural Nerve Compression, (4) Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome, (5) Morton Neuroma, and (6) Baxter’s Neuropathy.
