Case Report: Injury of the Lateral Dorsal Cutaneous Branch of Sural Nerve
Abstract
A case of isolated injury of the lateral dorsal cutaneous branch of the sural nerve is reported. It was thought to be a direct result of compression to the distal sural nerve by tight shoe. We performed the patient’s history, physical examination and routine electrophysiologic studies including sensory conduction for the lateral dorsal cutaneous branch of the sural nerve. Sensory nerve action potential amplitude in the affected side revealed less than 50% of the unaffected side. We consider this to be a unique case of isolated injury of lateral dorsal cutaneous branch of sural nerve which was diagnosed by nerve conduction study.
Key Words: Sural nerve, Lateral dorsal cutaneous branch of sural nerve, Isolated injury
