AB  - Mononeuropathy after surgery may occur and hereditary neuropathy with liability 
      to pressure palsies is a possible pathological condition related to paresis after 
      hip surgery. We present a case of 66-year-old man presenting severe weakness at 
      inferior limb muscles after hip prosthesis revision. Clinic and electrophysiology 
      showed severe right fibular nerve damage and ultrasound found a marked 
      enlargement of the same nerve, associated with focal enlargements in other 
      nerves. A diagnosis of hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies 
      was suspected and confirmed by genetic test. The patient gradually recovered 
      returning to a normal daily active life. Ultrasound was crucial for diagnosis. 
      The suspicion and diagnosis of latent neuropathy, which can occur after surgical 
      intervention, may lead to a better understand of the risks of the surgery, 
      specific for the patient, and avoid the wrong attribution to surgical 
      malpractice.
