Abstract

Ischemia can be a rare cause of focal neuropathy. We report an 83-year-old man with right tibial ischemic neuropathy after a catheterization and embolization procedure to treat recurrent hemarthrosis of the right knee. The electrophysiological study confirmed a conduction block at the right tibial nerve (between the ankle and knee), without local compression.
