ABSTRACT
The first description of tarsal tunnel syndrome is recent. Koppel in 1960 spoke of the sequelae of posterior tibial nerve damage. Keck in 1969 was the first to describe compression of the posterior tibial nerve by the internal annular ligament. It was about a young soldier who, after intensive training, presented with bilateral plantar anesthesia. The opening of the internal annular ligament had allowed a total recovery in 48 hours. Our objective here is to evoke the circumstances of the diagnosis of this syndrome, to analyze the anatomical and pathological causes, to present the types of treatments followed, in light of the literature.
