title: [Sural nerve neuropathy (external saphenous) linked to a disease of the small saphenous vein. Apropos of 5 cases].
abstract: Five cases of sural nerve lesion linked to small saphenous vein pathology are reported. They were due to vein stripping (4 cases) and to thrombophlebitis (1 case). The diagnosis was especially delayed in the first 4 cases, as this pathological field is quite unknown. In all the cases, only electrodiagnosis allowed to assess the diagnosis and medical care was sufficient to control the pain of these patients.
