Özet:

Clinical manifestations of peripheral nerve involvement may occur idiopathically or due to compression and tension caused by trauma, surgery, postural disorders. The peroneal nerve is usually pinched at the fibular head or neck and is usually affected unilaterally. Bilateral peroneal involvement can be seen due to causes such as traumas, hereditary neuropathies, metabolic and systemic diseases, infections, Guillane Barré syndrome, pregnancy, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. Peroneal involvement due to long-term change of posture is extremely rare. In our case, bilateral drop foot developed after prolonged squatting due to gastroenteritis and bilateral peroneal nerve involvement was detected as a result of electrophysiological tests. The patient showed complete recovery after the physiotherapy program.
