Key Words	Common peroneal neuropathy; Fabella; Compression neuropathy; Case report
Core Tip	This is the first case of common peroneal nerve entrapment neuropathy caused by compression by a fabella affecting exclusively the muscular branch of the superficial peroneal nerve. Instead of features typically found in neuropathy of the common peroneal nerve, such as drop foot, steppage gait, and numbness in the anterolateral leg and the dorsum of the foot, the case reported here presented with inversion of the right foot during the stance phase of gait for every step taken without any sensory problems. Therefore, clinicians should be aware of this unusual peripheral neuropathy while evaluating and treating patients with gait disturbance.
