✦ Synopsis
The innervation of the right M. extensor digitorum brevis was investigated in 52 subjects with the aid of stimulation electromyography. In 13 cases (25%) a particular branch of the superficial branch of the peroneal nerve, the accessory deep peroneal nerve, could be identified. In 1 case it alone, and in 12 cases, together with the deep peroneal nerve, innervated the M. ext. dig. brevis. The significance of the awareness of this anomalous innervation is pointed out.

## 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
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 t
