In addition, the sural nerve will be involved in any kind of generalized peripheral sensory or sensorimotor neuropathy. Sensory changes from sural neuropathy are variable but usually occur in the postero-lateral aspect of the leg and the dorso-lateral foot. These can sometimes be painful with paresthesias and dysesthesias.[9] Nerve conduction studies can be used to delineate sural nerve lesions.[10] Treatment will depend on the cause of the neuropathy.
