Abstract

We report, an unique case with co-existing bilateral severe tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) and bilateral severe carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), which were diagnosed by clinical examination and electrophysiological studies. Compression neuropathy, especially when bilateral or multiple may be secondary to a systemic disease. To date, bilateral carpal and tarsal tunnel syndromes in the same patient have been reported only a few cases in the literature.
