Abstract

Muscle herniation is a relatively common disorder in the extremities, particularly in the lower extremity where the tibialis anteior muscle is the most commonly affected. Usually muscle herniation is asymptomatic or mild but a few patients complain of cramping or severe pain. We report a case of a bilateral hernia of the tibialis anterior muscle that was confirmed by dynamic ultrasonography.
