Magnetic resonance neurography of peroneal palsy in crossed-legs habit: case report

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 2013 Jan-Feb;37(1):114-6. doi: 10.1097/RCT.0b013e31827172fe.

Abstract

"Drop foot" palsy attributed to the prolonged and repetitive maintenance of the crossed-leg posture has been occasionally reported. We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of magnetic resonance imaging evidence of peroneal nerve abnormalities related to right drop-foot palsy in a tall healthy subject with habit of prolonged daily leg crossing.
