Abstract

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