Abstract

All the information about the tarsal tunnel so far is both important and variable. The reason for this situation is that there are many structures in the tarsal tunnel, such as tibial nerve and its branches, posterior tibial artery, posterior tibial veins and some tendons. During routine dissection, we found an abnormal relationship between the tibial nerve and medial calcaneal nerve (MCN) on the right side of a male cadaver. In this case, we would show a variant condition that communicates with other branches of rr. calcanei mediales and discuss its clinical significance.

Özet

Tarsal tünel hakkında şimdiye kadar verilen tüm bilgiler hem önemli hem de değişkendir. Bu durumun nedeni tarsal tünelde n. tibialis ve dalları, arteria tibialis posterior, vv. tibiales posteriores ve bazı tendonlar gibi birçok yapının bulunmasıdır. Rutin bir diseksiyon sırasında, bir erkek kadavranın sağ tarafında n. tibialis ile rr. calcanei mediales arasında anormal bir ilişki gözlemlendi. Bu vakamızda, rr. calcanei mediales' nin diğer dalları ile bağlantı kuran bir varyatif durumu gösterip ve bu durumun klinik önemini tartışacağız.
