Preferred Label : peroneal neuropathies;
MeSH definition : Disease involving the common PERONEAL NERVE or its branches, the deep and superficial
peroneal nerves. Lesions of the deep peroneal nerve are associated with PARALYSIS
of dorsiflexion of the ankle and toes and loss of sensation from the web space between
the first and second toe. Lesions of the superficial peroneal nerve result in weakness
or paralysis of the peroneal muscles (which evert the foot) and loss of sensation
over the dorsal and lateral surface of the leg. Traumatic injury to the common peroneal
nerve near the head of the FIBULA is a relatively common cause of this condition.
