Introduction: Tarsal tunnel syndrome is a compressive neuropathy of the tibial nerve with multiple causes. This syndrome is difficult to diagnose and can be missed because of its subjective symptomatology.

Observation: In our patient, suspected post-traumatic tarsal tunnel syndrome was confirmed at MRI. This case highlights muscle signal anomalies caused by their denervation in the tibial nerve territory.

Conclusion: MRI can provide supplementary information to the electromyography (EMG) and contribute to positive and etiologic diagnosis of peripheral nerve lesions.
