Abstract
Two patients experienced foot drop associated with rapid weight loss from tirzepatide treatment.
- Common peroneal nerve palsy, also known as 'slimmer's palsy,' may occur after significant weight loss.
- Both cases involved habitual leg crossing, which could contribute to nerve compression.
- Foot drop was observed following the weight loss induced by tirzepatide, suggesting a potential link.
- The effects of rapid weight loss on nerve health warrant further investigation.
