✦ Synopsis

Accessory deep peroneal nerve (ADPN), a common anatomic variant, is traditionally suspected when common peroneal nerve stimulation evokes a greater amplitude extensor digitorum brevis compound muscle action potential than deep peroneal nerve (DPN) stimulation. Posterolateral ankle stimulation over the ADPN is confirmatory. We report a rare patient with ADPN neuropathy in whom the collision technique was necessary to confirm the presence of an ADPN and to distinguish between neuropathy of the ADPN and the DPN.

## Abstract We report a case of deep peroneal neuropathy resulting in foot drop with preserved toe extension. These unexpected findings were the result of the presence of an accessory deep peroneal nerve that provided total innervation of the extensor digitorum brevis. We review the literature on t
