Abstract
The flexor digitorum accessorius longus is a rare muscular anomaly that has been reported as one of the etiologies of tarsal tunnel syndrome. The authors provide a case report of a patient with tarsal tunnel syndrome that resolved with resection of the flexor digitorum accessorius longus. The patient remains asymptomatic 40 months following surgery.
