Resumen

El dolor crónico en la cara lateral del tobillo relacionado con la neuralgia sural es una patología poco frecuente. El nervio sural inerva la sensibilidad del borde posterolateral de la pierna, así como del borde dorsolateral del pie. En ocasiones la neuralgia sural es resistente al tratamiento conservador, pudiendo afectar a la esfera psicoemocional y social del paciente. Describimos el caso de un paciente de 54años con dolor neuropático en territorio del sural y con el antecedente de varias cirugías de tobillo. Tras tratamiento conservador sin éxito, se realiza radiofrecuencia ablativa ecoguiada en nervio sural con posterior cese completo del dolor sin efectos secundarios. Nos proponemos dar importancia a la ecopalpación en consulta de un médico rehabilitador, así como describir la radiofrecuencia ablativa ecoguiada como una técnica segura y eficaz para la neuralgia sural que no responde a tratamiento conservador. Sin embargo, se necesitan más estudios de calidad para corroborar estos resultados.

Abstract

Chronic lateral ankle pain related to sural neuralgia is a rare pathology. The sural nerve innervates the sensitivity of the posterolateral border of the leg, as well as the dorsolateral border of the foot. On occasions, sural neuralgia is resistant to conservative treatment and can affect the patient's psycho-emotional and social sphere. We describe the case of a 54-year-old patient with neuropathic pain in the sural territory and a history of several ankle surgeries. After unsuccessful conservative treatment, ultrasound-guided ablative radiofrequency is performed in the sural nerve with subsequent complete cessation of pain without side effects. We propose to give importance to ecopalpation in the consultation of a rehabilitation physician, as well as to describe ultrasound-guided ablative radiofrequency as a safe and effective technique for sural neuralgia that does not respond to conservative treatment. However, more quality studies are needed to corroborate these results.
