Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) was first described by Jean-Martin Charcot in a patient with tabes dorsalis who recognized that peripheral neuropathy could lead to neuropathic joints. This condition has many names, including Charcot osteoarthropathy, neuropathic osteo- arthropathy, and many others. Charcot foot may occur as a complication of neurosyphilis, syringomyelia, leprosy, poliomyelitis, congenital neuropathy and diabetes mellitus , the latter currently being the most common cause of CN. Since the description of CN in 1883, its pathophysiology remains an enigma, and there are no strict guidelines for the treatment of this disorder.
