Idiopathic tibial mononeuropathy with conduction block: An unusual case and review of the literature

Tibial mononeuropathies most commonly occur at the popliteal fossa or tarsal tunnel. We present an unusual case of nontraumatic tibial neuropathy of uncertain etiology occurring in the mid lower leg. External neurolysis resulted in an excellent recovery.
