Foot drop is usually derived from peroneal nerve injury. Traumatic causes of peroneal nerve injury are more common than insidious causes including metabolic syndromes and mass lesions. We present a case with common peroneal neuropathy due to schwannoma, which is extremely rare. Complete excision of the mass lead to a gradual improvement of the symptoms. Schwannoma should be considered as a cause of common peroneal neuropathy.
