Although compression neuropathies are encountered frequently in neurosurgical practice, involvement of the sural nerve is described rarely. We report a case of bilateral compression neuropathy of the sural nerve with an unusual mechanism of injury. The case is discussed, and the pertinent literature is reviewed.
