Summary

Summary: The epiconus syndrome is a rare disorder presenting with symptoms of motor deficit and sensory disturbance in the leg as well as bladder, bowel and erectile dysfunction. In this case report, we present a patient with isolated unilateral weakening in ankle pronation as a rare initial manifestation of epiconus syndrome. This case corresponds to epiconus syndrome presenting with radicular-type features previously published in literature; however, with the absence of other neurological symptoms. Progressive motor weakness as well as muscular atrophy of the lower leg were dominant symptoms in further development as well as in previous epiconus syndrome studies.

Keywords:

epiconus – peroneal muscle – peroneal nerve palsy – muscular atrophy
