Abstract

We report a patient with type III Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, presenting with recurrent footdrop, who had electrophysiologic evidence of a conduction block of the common peroneal nerve followed by complete resolution. We feel that this case supports the possible link between Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and multiple pressure sensitive neuropathy (tomaculous neuropathy), alluded to by Schady and Ochoa (1984).
