ABSTRACT |
Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and myopathy are rare complications of peripheral arterial occlusive disease. We reporta case of ischemic monomelic neuropathy of the right sural, common peroneal and posterior tibial nerves and ischemic myopathyof the right tibialis anterior resulting from the occlusion of the right common femoral arteries despite successfulrevascularization. Ischemic monomelic neuropathy and myopathy can occur as a result of occlusion of the specific peripheralartery. |
