Tarsal tunnel syndrome (TTS) is an entrapment neuropathy of the tibial nerve (TN) within the tarsal tunnel (TT) at the level of the tibio-talar and/or talo-calcaneal joints. Making a diagnosis of TTS can be challenging, especially when symptoms overlap with other conditions and electrophysiological studies lack specificity. Imaging, in particular MRI, can help identify causative factors in individuals with suspected TTS and help aid surgical management. In this article, we review the anatomy of the TT, the diagnosis of TTS, aetiological factors implicated in TTS and imaging findings, with an emphasis on MRI.
