CASE REPORT

The Endoscopic Treatment of Tracheo-bronchial Amyloidosis: A Challenging Issue

Exophitic amyloid tissue obstructed the proximal end of Y-stent in trachea and the distal end of Y-Stent within left bronchus (white arrow, Part A). The delivery catheter of self expanded metallic stent (SEMS) was introduced in the lumen of left bronchus (Part B). The placement of SEMS restored the airway patency of left main bronchus (Part C). Another SEMS was placed in the proximal trachea (Part D).

Anterior Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome with Presence of Accessory Deep Peroneal Nerve: Case Report

Journal of Neurology, Neurological Science and Disorders Case Report Abstract Entrapment neuropathy of the deep peroneal nerve, also recognized as anterior tibial nerve, typically occurs at the anterior ankle and dorsal foot. Compression of this nerve, which anatomically is inferior to the extensor retinaculum, is commonly referred to as anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome. This syndrome is rare and remains poorly diagnosed among clinical problems. A 25-year-old woman was referred to our outpatient clinic for a second opinion. She presented with a vague pain over the dorsomedial aspect of the foot which occasionally radiated into the first intertarsal space. Electromyography revealed moderate prolongation of distal latency and presence of accessory deep peroneal nerve (ADPN) with partially innervated extensor digitorum brevis. Our diagnosis was anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome, and surgical decompression of the anterior tarsal tunnel was performed. At the follow up three months...
