Most often, the heel moves inward (varus cavus foot), and the forefoot looks outwards (pronation): “helical” foot. We presented a caselofi Pes Cavus with review of. It does not correct itself with growth but is often well tolerated. The patient has manifested the clinical finding of progressive leg muscle weakness and low back pain.
