Pes Cavus – (High Arch) in Children

Pes Cavus is the opposite of flat feet and is when the arch is extremely pronounced. It is rarely seen as an isolated finding and is usually indicative of a neurological cause; therefore an urgent referral to paediatric orthopaedics or a paediatrician is the most appropriate action.
