Peroneal neuropathy scarcely can develop after massive weight reduction. A 21-year-old man complained left foot drop after 28% weight reduction (from 94 kgs to 67.5 kgs). During previous seven months, he played PC games with sitting cross-legged more than seven hours a day. In addition, he started a heavily restricted diet three months ago. Except for those, he had neither any medical history nor trauma to his knee. Electrophysiologic study showed the partial conduction block of left peroneal neuropathy at the fibular head. Four-week well balanced diet and physical therapy improved his foot drop. For the prevention of peroneal neuropathy related to weight reduction, well balanced diet and lifestyle modification are needed.
