Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Prince Zaid Ben Al-Hussein Hospital, Jordan.

This case report is to illustrate a case of a 24-year-old Jordanian woman, gravida 1, para 0 who developed intrapartum foot drop due to compression injury of the common peroneal nerve behind the head of fibula. Diagnosis was based on history, clinical examination and electrophysiological studies. Treatment included daily sessions of physiotherapy. Complete recovery of the condition took place within 2 months.

D009408	Nerve Compression Syndromes	Mechanical compression of nerves or nerve roots from internal or external causes. These may result in a conduction block to nerve impulses (due to MYELIN SHEATH dysfunction) or axonal loss. The nerve and nerve sheath injuries may be caused by ISCHEMIA; INFLAMMATION; or a direct mechanical effect.

D020427	Peroneal Neuropathies	Disease involving the common PERONEAL NERVE or its branches, the deep and superficial peroneal nerves. Lesions of the deep peroneal nerve are associated with PARALYSIS of dorsiflexion of the ankle and toes and loss of sensation from the web space between the first and second toe. Lesions of the superficial peroneal nerve result in weakness or paralysis of the peroneal muscles (which evert the foot) and loss of sensation over the dorsal and lateral surface of the leg. Traumatic injury to the common peroneal nerve near the head of the FIBULA is a relatively common cause of this condition.
