tarsal tunnel syndrome[‚tärs·əl ′tən·əl ‚sin‚drōm] (medicine) A neurological foot disorder in which the posterior tibial nerve becomes compressed and damaged within the tarsal canal, symptoms include pain and burning that arises from behind the inside of the ankle and that may travel to the bottom of the foot. tarsal tunnel syndrome
tarsal [tahr´sal] 1. pertaining to the tarsus of an eyelid.2. pertaining to the tarsus of the foot.tarsal tunnel syndrome a complex of symptoms resulting from compression of the posterior tibial nerve or of the plantar nerves in the tarsal tunnel, with pain, numbness, and tingling paresthesia of the sole of the foot.tar·sal tun·nel syn·drome (TTS), a syndrome resulting from entrapment of various foot nerves in the ankle region. Two distinct types are recognized: medial tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS), characterized by pain, paresthesias, or both, experienced on various portions of the sole of the foot, due to injury of the medial plantar, lateral plantar, or medial calcaneal nerves in or near the tarsal tunnel on the medial aspect of the ankle; and anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome, which involves the distal portion of the deep peroneal nerve, distal to the ankle; it is usually asymptomatic and diagnosed by peroneal motor nerve conduction studies. Unless otherwise stated, the term tarsal tunnel syndrome refers to medial tarsal tunnel syndrome. tar·sal tun·nel syn·drome (TTS), a syndrome resulting from entrapment of various foot nerves in the ankle region.

The effects are weakness of the muscles of the foot and numbness. Compare CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME. |
