BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Footdrop designates weakness of the ankle as well as toes dorsiflexion. Peripheral causes of unilateral footdrop are well established. @entity1621 originating from pathologies in the central nervous system are rare and include a number of unexplored etiologies. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A case of bilateral footdrop is presented. The @entity1 presented with a grade IV @entity510 with intraventricular extension. He was treated with coil embolization of an anterior communicating @entity438 . Postoperatively, he was found to have @entity425 . Findings on magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine were negative for abnormal cord signal, @entity1188 , and @entity2850 . Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed @entity1653 greater than left convexity foci of acute @entity1188 . CONCLUSION: Central causes of acute footdrop are rare. However, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis, particularly in the presence of upper motor neuron signs on physical examination.
