Abstract: | Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a condition that is caused by compression of the tibial nerve or its associated branches. Diagnosis is based on clinical findings but imaging is performed to exclude a cause of compression, identified in 60 to 80% of cases. Ultrasound is a useful examination because of its high spatial resolution and ability to rapidly perform an axial survey of the nerves. The ultrasound imaging features of the tarsal tunnel are described. The etiologies and different types are illustrated through a review of clinical cases. |
