Diagnosing bilateral tarsal tunnel syndrome

Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a clinical condition characterized by pain and numbness involving the feet, and it occasionally spares the heels. It is often caused by physical compression by ganglion or post-traumatic change in the tunnel.1-2 Cases of idiopathic bilateral tarsal tunnel syndrome have been reported but not as many as expected, thereby rendering the entity and diagnosis of this condition ambiguous. This may be because the symptoms are complicated and ignored by patients and health care professionals.
