Abstract
Five cases of sural nerve lesion linked to small saphenous vein pathology a re reported. They were due to vein stripping (4 cases) and to thrombophlebi tis (1 case). The diagnosis was especially delayed in the first 4 cases, as this pathological field is quite unknown. In ail the cases, only electrodi agnosis allowed to assess the diagnosis and medical care was sufficient to control the pain of these patients.
