Introduction: Compression neuropathy of the peripheral nerves due to synovial cysts are a rare occurrence.

Case Summary: This article presents the clinical and radiological features of deep peroneal nerve palsy resulting from compression neuropathy due to synovial cyst presenting with complete foot drop along with the intra-operative findings and post surgery recovery following excision and neurolysis in a 52 years old male individual.

Discussion: Peripheral nerve compression neuropathy resulting from focal entrapment by synovial cysts is uncommon. Surgical excision has excellent outcome in these cases.
